Karthik Kambatla commented on MAPREDUCE-6829:
---------------------------------------------

Patch looks pretty good. Few comments:
# I see we are operating based on the _MAX suffix. What happens to user 
counters that end in _MAX? Is there a way to skip them?
# We don't need to handle MIN. My recommendation would be to avoid adding it 
until it is needed. I am okay with keeping them in if you insist, but would 
like to see a test.
# Can we also add a test that uses MiniMRCluster so we have an end-to-end test 
as well. 

> Add peak memory usage counter for each task

> Each task has counters PHYSICAL_MEMORY_BYTES and VIRTUAL_MEMORY_BYTES, which 
> are snapshots of memory usage of that task. They are not sufficient for users 
> to understand peak memory usage by that task, e.g. in order to diagnose task 
> failures, tune job parameters or change application design. This new feature 
> will add two more counters for each task: PHYSICAL_MEMORY_BYTES_MAX and 
> VIRTUAL_MEMORY_BYTES_MAX.
> This JIRA has the same feature from MAPREDUCE-4710.  I file this new YARN 
> JIRA since MAPREDUCE-4710 is pretty old one from MR 1.x era, it more or less 
> assumes a branch-1 architecture, should be close at this point.
