Allen Wittenauer updated HADOOP-10950:
--------------------------------------

    Release Note: 
* The default heap sizes have been removed and the HADOOP_HEAPSIZE variable has 
been deprecated  (It will still be honored if set, but expect it to go away in 
the future).  This will allow for the JVM to use auto-tuning based upon the 
memory size of the host.  To re-enable the old default, configure 
HADOOP_HEAPSIZE_MAX="1g" in hadoop-env.sh.

* All global and daemon-specific heap size variables now support units.  If the 
variable is only a number, the size is assumed to be in megabytes.
