It is not that hard, all it did was add 'ulimt -v <number>' to the shell script that launched the task, except on windows. --Bobby On 6/18/13 3:56 PM, "Sandy Ryza" <sandy.r...@cloudera.com> wrote: >Hi yarn-dev/mapreduce-dev, > >Is there a reason that mapred.child.ulimit no longer has an effect in MR2? > Should it be added back in? > >thanks for any help, >-Sandy
