Vinod K V commented on HADOOP-5881: ----------------------------------- Here's the proposal: || *Parameter* || *Type* || *Meaning* || | mapred.cluster.map.memory.mb | set by admin, cluster-wide | Cluster definition of memory per map slot. The maximum amount of memory, in MB, each map task on a tasktracker can consume.| | mapred.cluster.reduce.memory.mb |set by admin, cluster-wide | Cluster definition of memory per reduce slot. The maximum amount of memory, in MB, each reduce task on a tasktracker can consume. | | mapred.job.map.memory.mb | set by user, per-job | Job requirement for map tasks. The maximum amount of memory each map task of a job can consume, in MB. | | mapred.job.reduce.memory.mb | set by user, per-job | job requirement for reduce tasks. The maximum amount of memory each reduce task of a job can consume, in MB. | |mapred.cluster.max.map.memory.mb | set by admin, cluster-wide | Max limit on jobs. The maximum value that can be specified by a user via mapred.job.map.memory.mb, in MB. A job that asks for more than this number will be failed at submission itself.| |mapred.cluster.max.reduce.memory.mb | set by admin, cluster-wide | Max limit on jobs.

Besides everything else, > the mechanism of not specifying parameters separately for maps and reduces > leads to problems like HADOOP-5811. This JIRA should address simplifying > things and at the same time solving these problems. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
