Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough: I do use a configuration file and I do add my own properties like hadoop-mapreduce.mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx1g. What I didn't know is that whirr automatically and quite secretly adds its own properties like mapred.child.ulimit. I want that if I do not specify a property whirr will not add it (like mapred.child.ulimit) so that it defaults to hadoop of that particular property. I did try to modify whirr-hadoop-default.properties removing two lines but now whirr doesn't work properly anymore: in particular it doesn't install cdh any more. What modification to the source code should I perform to reach my goal? Thank you
