Hi, In one of my hadoop jobs I had set mapred.job.reuse.jvm.num.tasks = -1. The job was such that each map/reduce task occupied around 2GB RAM. So by setting mapred.job.reuse.jvm.num.tasks = -1, even when all the maps had finished, JVMs were still alive. Though the JVMs were not using CPU, but occupied RAM. Thus reducing overall available RAM for reducer JVMs. All the JVMs were killed when the Job completed.
Is this a bug in hadoop? If yes, should I open a JIRA for that? Please enlighten, Thanks in advance. -- Thanks & Regards, Chandra Prakash Bhagtani
