Insufficient space exception from InMemoryFileSystem after raising 
fs.inmemory.size.mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1837
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1837
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.13.1
            Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
            Priority: Minor


trying out larger in-memory file system (curious if that helped speed the sort 
phase). in this run - i had sized it to 500MB. There's plenty of RAM in the 
machine (8GB) and the tasks are launched with -Xmx2048 option (so there's 
plenty of heap space as well). However - observing this exception:

so this ends up slowing stuff down since we backoff on the source host (even 
though it's not it's fault).  Looking at the code, seems like ReduceTask is 
trying to write more to InMemoryFileSystem than it should.
