Gera Shegalov commented on MAPREDUCE-6209: ------------------------------------------ Karthik's comment captures my intention. Added "proportional to the job size" to the title for clarification. > Implement a heuristic to auto-size Java heap of MRAppMaster container > proportional to the job size > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-6209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6209 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: applicationmaster > Reporter: Gera Shegalov > > The size of Java heap required by the AM is linearly proportional to the size > of the MR job (number of mappers/splits and reducers). it would be nice if > users did not have to adjust the AM container size when transitioning from > testing job on a small sample to a production job on a full-scale dataset. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
