--------------------------------

             Summary: Customize Java Heap min/max settings for individual 
processes
                 Key: HBASE-12309
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12309
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: master, regionserver, REST
    Affects Versions: 0.99.1, 0.98.5
            Reporter: Mark Tse
            Priority: Minor


The separate processes (master, regionserver, zookeeper, rest, etc.) all run 
using $JAVA_HEAP_MAX in 'bin/hbase'. However, there may be cases where we want 
the processes to run with different Java max heap sizes.

In 0.98.5, HBASE_(.*)_OPTS variables exist for these processes and can be used 
to add the Xms and Xmx tags, but because of how the default for JAVA_HEAP_MAX 
is set, it will always add '-Xmx1000m' to the final call to start up the 
master/regionserver/rest process, resulting in two different Java heap settings 
(e.g. -Xmx1000m and -Xmx8g is used when starting the master).

In 0.99.1, this default no longer exists so HBASE_(.*)_OPTS is usable, but it 
would be nice to have dedicated variables for each process.

This issue also exists in Hadoop HDFS ([HDFS-7255]).
