                 Key: HADOOP-2764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2764
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.15.3
            Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
            Priority: Minor


tasktrackers/datanodes should be run with low memory settings. theres a lot of 
competition for memory on slave nodes and these tasks don't need much memory 
anyway and best to keep heap setting low.

namenode needs higher memory and there's usually lots to spare on separate box.

hadoop-env.sh can provide different heap settings for central vs. slave daemons.
