mapred.map.tasks and mapred.reduce.tasks should be determined automatically by 
default
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3097
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3097
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: mapred
            Reporter: Doug Cutting


The default values for mapred.map.tasks and mapred.reduce.tasks should be empty 
or -1, signalling that the framework should use an dynamically-determined 
default.  An appropriate default is perhaps the number of map and reduce slots 
in the cluster, since FileInputFormat interprets mapred.map.tasks as a minimum.

This would remove a common area of misconfiguration.
