> Prevent memory intensive user tasks from taking down nodes
> ----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-3581
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3581

> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> Sometimes user Map/Reduce applications can get extremely memory intensive,
> maybe due to some inadvertent bugs in the user code, or the amount of data
> processed. When this happens, the user tasks start to interfere with the
> proper execution of other processes on the node, including other Hadoop
> daemons like the DataNode and TaskTracker. Thus, the node would become
> unusable for any Hadoop tasks. There should be a way to prevent such tasks
> from bringing down the node.
