Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-5881: ------------------------------------------ bq. It would be useful if the description of the above memory management parameters is added in mapred-default.xml. Also mapred.tasktracker.vmem.reserved, mapred.task.default.maxvmem and mapred.task.limit.maxvmem has to be removed from the xml. +1 regarding documentation. I filed HADOOP-5957 to track this. But we are planning to introduce backwards compatible options, so removing the configuration parameters from xml will not be necessary. Please see HADOOP-5919. > Simplify configuration related to task-memory-monitoring and memory-based > scheduling > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-5881 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5881 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Vinod K V > Assignee: Vinod K V > Fix For: 0.20.1 > > Attachments: HADOOP-5881-20090526-branch-20.1.txt, > HADOOP-5881-20090526.1.txt > > > The configuration we have now is pretty complicated.
