Yan Fang commented on SAMZA-109:
--------------------------------
Ok. Will remove the first point.
BTW, what is the format of using the task.opts? I do not see any documents
mentioning it. Want to add an example into the table.

> task.opts is a bit tricky to use right now.
> The most common thing that I see people want to do are:
> * Change the Xmx setting for their Samza containers.
> * Turn on a remote debugger.
> * Change garbage collector settings.
> Most of the time they do this in dev-mode (using LocalJobFactory).
> Changing task.opts is tricky for a number of reasons.
> 1. Changing task.opts at all eliminates all of the defaults. This means, if
> you set -Xmx, you lose all the defaults set in run-class.sh when no JVM_OPTS
> is set (log settings, Java system properties, etc).
> 2. LocalJobFactory uses ThreadJob by default, which doesn't even pay
> attention to task.opts (since it starts the container as a thread, not a new
> process).
> 3. If you manage to figure out how to switch LocalJobFactory to use
> ProcessJob (undocumented), you end up with the SamzaContainer running as a
> separate process with no way to kill it (the LocalJobRunner starts the
> ProcessJob, then exits).
