eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-3759:
---------------------------------------------
Why does this need to be deprecated? Generalizing it as a way of setting up
other limits or ENV config seems more correct. Might I not want to limit the
size of any process as well as the size of the process tree?
This is more secure when it works, since it keeps me from even creating the
large object. The other approach might miss the problem until too late...

> In HADOOP-3581, we are discussing how to prevent memory intensive tasks from
> affecting Hadoop daemons and other tasks running on a node. A related
> requirement is that users be provided an ability to run jobs which are memory
> intensive. The system must provide enough knobs to allow such jobs to be run
> while still maintaining the requirements of HADOOP-3581.
