It should be able to specify different jvm settings for map and reduce child 
process (via mapred.child.map.java.opts and mapred.child.reduce.java.opts 
options)

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-2003
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2003
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tasktracker
            Reporter: Vladimir Klimontovich
             Fix For: 0.20.3, 0.21.0, 0.22.0


Sometimes mapper child process requires different JVM settings than reducer. 
For example when mapper requires much more memory than reducer.
Now it's only possible to set options for both using mapred.child.java.opts.

Proposed solution: mapred.child.java.opts could be overwritten by 
mapred.child.map.java.opts or mapred.child.reduce.java.opts. Thus, we're adding 
more flexibility and compatibility with old configurations.

The same should be done for mapred.child.env.
