Vinod K V commented on HADOOP-5883:
-----------------------------------

Looked at the patch. Looks very good overall. Only few comments:

TaskMemoryMangerThread.java
 - (+292) limit != JobConf.DISABLED_MEMORY_LIMIT This check is not needed 
anymore as JT doesn't access any jobs with no configuration with HADOOP-5881.
 - (+207) We can avoid duplicate calls to ProcessTree.getCumulativeVmem() just 
before and inside ProcessTreeOverLimit(). For this, we can retain the current 
method for usage in testcases and add a new method that takes both the limits 
as parameters.

TestProcfsBasedProcessTree.setupProcfsRootDir() :
 - Cant' we just clean the proc dir ourselves before the test?
 - We can check for the return value of mkdirs instead of making a new 
File.exists() call.

Minor:
 - Missing @throws IOException in javadoc of all the methods newly added in the 
two testcases.

> Currently the TaskMemoryMonitorThread kills tasks as soon as it detects they 
> are consuming more memory than the max value specified. There are valid cases 
> (see HADOOP-5059) where if a program is executed from the task, it might 
> momentarily occupy twice the amount of memory for a short time. Ideally the 
> monitoring thread should handle this case.
