Which JVM?  The Mapper one, the Reducer one, or the one that is launching all 
of it?

mapred.child.java.opts will set the mapper and the reducer.  If it is the one 
you are launching then the HADOOP_OPTS environment variable should be what you 
want to use.

My question is how and where can I specify -Xmx option to increase heap 
assigned to my JVM ?

Thanks in advance
