Hyunsik Choi commented on GIRAPH-12:
------------------------------------
Thank you for review. I agree with your opinion. The virtual memory size seems
very important in 32-bit JVMs. I only considered 64-bit JVMs. I overlooked that
point.
Anyway, this patch allows users to control the number of threads. It is more
helpful in restricted environment (e.g., 32-bit JVM).

> Currently every worker will start up a thread to communicate with every other
> workers. Hadoop RPC is used for communication. For instance if there are
> 400 workers, each worker will create 400 threads. This ends up using a lot
> of memory, even with the option
> -Dmapred.child.java.opts="-Xss64k".
> It would be good to investigate using frameworks like Netty or custom roll
> our own to improve this situation. By moving away from Hadoop RPC, we would
> also make compatibility of different Hadoop versions easier.
