Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-2637:
------------------------------------
One more thought I had is to let the user specify the particular (or multiples
of those) map task he'd like the server to be started upon. This way, he can
even debug particular splits (of course, having splits information needs work
upon as well).
> Providing options to debug the mapreduce user code (Mapper, Reducer,
> Combiner, Sort implementations)

> Key: MAPREDUCE-2637
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2637
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tasktracker
> Reporter: Devaraj K
> Assignee: Devaraj K
>
> Presently Hadoop provides "mapred.child.java.opts" configuration which can be
> used to set JVM options for Child JVM running Map or Reduce Task.
> If we need to remote debug the Child JVM, we can add remote debugging options
> to this configuration value.
> But this will work only for single Child JVM. Other children will fail as the
> remote debugging port is already used.
> We cannot specify the remote debugging port dynamically.
> As a result, it's not possible to remote debug multiple Child JVMs.
> As a solution to this problem, we can provide a configuration to debug Task
> JVMs in this scenario.
