Hi all,

  I tried to run a customised sort with following details ::

* I have a metafile to be sorted. So on testing basis, I created a
SequenceFile format of the metafile by appending a SequenceFile generated
header with the record part (i kept it in the same sequence--> record
length, key length, key, value) of the metafile.
* I also implemented the writables for the key and value in my records.
* I also implemented the input/output formats for my records (not sure
whether it is correct)
* I tried running this customized Sort with the new parameters and
inputfile. I also gave no. of  maps , reduces both as 1.

I am getting the following error :: *Task Id :
attempt_201009082009_0006_m_000000_0, Status : FAILED*
*Error: Java heap space*

**Someone please throw some light on this...

thanks,
Matthew John
