Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-922:
------------------------------------------

MAPREDUCE-1603 could provide a way to do this customisation without having to 
have logic built into hadoop itself, logic that may date fast and depend upon 
the specific workload. 

> Automatic configuration of number of map and reduce slots based on available 
> resources for dealing with heterogenous clusters

> Currently the number of map and reduce slots have to be configured manually, 
> which is reasonable for homogeneous clusters. However, as the clusters start 
> to change over time it becomes rather painful to administer and configure. We 
> should start thinking along the direction of auto-magically configuring the 
> slots based on available resources on the node such as RAM, CPU, disk etc.
