Allen Wittenauer resolved MAPREDUCE-3.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Who sets ulimit anymore? No one. Why? cgroups and /proc-based memory limits.
Closing as stale.
> Set mapred.child.ulimit automatically to the value of the RAM limits for a
> job, if they are set

> Memory based monitoring and scheduling allow users to set memory limits for
> the tasks of their jobs. This parameter is the total memory taken by the
> task, and any children it may launch (for e.g. in the case of streaming). A
> related parameter is mapred.child.ulimit which is a hard limit on the memory
> used by a single process of the entire task tree. For user convenience, it
> would be sensible for the system to set the ulimit to atleast the memory
> required by the task, if the user has specified the latter.
