The number of parallel tasks that are run depends on the amount of memory and 
vcores on your machines and the amount of memory and vcores required by your 
mappers and reducers. The amount of memory can be set via 
yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb(the default is 8G). The amount of vcores 
can be set via yarn.nodemanager.resource.cpu-vcores(the default is 8 vcores).

Subject:  Max Parallel task executors

Hi Team,

I've a cloudera cluster of 4 nodes. Whenever i submit a job my only 31 parallel 
tasks are executed whereas my machines have more CPU available but still 
YARN/AM does not create more task. 

Is there any configuration which I can change to start more MAP/REDUCER task in 
parallel?

Each machine in my cluster has 24 CPUs.

Regards,
Sandeep
