Task counters should also report the total heap usage of the task -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2469 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2469 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Improvement Components: task Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Reporter: Amar Kamat Currently, the task counters report VSS and RSS usage of the task. The task counter should also report the total heap usage of the task also. The task might be configured with a max heap size of M but the task's total heap usage might only be H, where H < M. In such a case, knowing only M doesn't provide a complete picture of the task's memory usage. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
