Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-4035:
------------------------------------------
> I think expressing these values in KB would keep things consistent.
I think the system should be smart enough that if I specify "4g" or "4m" or
"4k" it knows what I'm talking about. Are we really going to make ops people
write massively long integers in 2008? It annoys me when apps aren't "smart"
about values. [He says, having just had to set some memory related values in
another application that ended up looking like 1073741824 . Nice and
readable.... ]

> HADOOP-3759 introduced configuration variables that can be used to specify
> memory requirements for jobs, and also modified the tasktrackers to report
> their free memory. The capacity scheduler in HADOOP-3445 should schedule
> tasks based on these parameters. A task that is scheduled on a TT that uses
> more than the default amount of memory per slot can be viewed as effectively
> using more than one slot, as it would decrease the amount of free memory on
> the TT by more than the default amount while it runs. The scheduler should
> make the used capacity account for this additional usage while enforcing
> limits, etc.
