Suhas Gogate commented on HADOOP-3956:
--------------------------------------

1. I have an agent written in perl, which I call it as  "Hadoop Performance 
Adviser". It provides an extensible framework for evaluating the performance of 
a map/reduce job. It generates a report indicating potential problems affecting 
the job performance and the advice (if any) to take any corrective actions to 
rectify the problem.  

2. Framework is extensible in the sense, 
     -- it allows adding new entries to a pre-defined list of performance and 
cluster utilization hints  and framework evaluates them against job execution 
counters and configuration parameters parsed through log files.  
     -- Also the hint subroutines are written in such a fashion that more 
complex hints can be built using a boolean expression around existing set of 
hints.


I agree that there is a lot of potential in such tools that can help user (as 
well as a grid service provider) to get more targeted advice on the job 
efficiency.

> Problem Description: 
>  Users typically submit jobs with sub-optimal parameters resulting in 
> under-utilization, black-listed task-trackers, time-outs, re-tries etc.
>  Issue can be mitigated by submitting job with custom Hadoop parameters.
