Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3644:
----------------------------------------
What we could do is have the build file work out (how?) that its a 64 bit JVM
and automatically ask for more memory. But that test would be tricky.
Defaulting to a bigger -xMX would not be too harmful to 32 bit JVMs (its only a
maximum; JVMs are short lived).
> TestLocalJobControl test gets OutOfMemoryError on 64-bit Java

> The TestLocalJobControl unit test fails on 64-bit Java on Linux with an
> OutOfMemoryError. Here is the exact Java environment:
> $ java -version
> java version "1.5.0_07"
> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode)
> The test runs fine with 32-bit Java. The problem is likely that some of the
> data structures become bigger when using 64-bit pointers. As a fix, I've
> suggested simply increasing the memory available to JUnit.
