Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-4439: ------------------------------------------ One other proposal was to change the max memory specification to be a percentage of the physical RAM rather than an absolute value. In interest of time (as this is a blocker for 0.19), I decided to leave this suggestion out. As the configuration is not exposed until HADOOP-4035, we can change it as part of that patch. In fact, the current configuration can be supported in a backwards compatible model as well, if we want. > Cleanup memory related resource management > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4439 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4439 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala > Assignee: Hemanth Yamijala > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-4439.patch > > > HADOOP-3759 and HADOOP-3581 introduced memory based resource management.
