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

Steve,

You definitely need this patch with java update 14&15. I have 18.3 and u 15. 
There are no surface errors! but my map tasks produced no output! Good thing I 
caught it relatively quickly.

> Command used to determine JAVA_PLATFORM in bin/hadoop command does not set 
> the heap size. The command uses default 1GB heap size. The tasks invoking 
> hadoop command end up  using large heap size in streaming jobs. If the 
> maximum memory that can be used by a task is restricted, this could result in 
> map/reduce job failures.
