Some other options that effect the number of mappers and reducers and the amount of memory they use:
mapred.child.java.opts* *-Xmx1200M (e.g. heap for your mapper/reducer or any other java options) - this will decide the number of slots(512M) per mapper splitsize will effect the number of splits(and in effect the number of mappers) depending on your input file and input format(in case you are using fileinputformat or deriving from it) mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.maxsize <max number of bytes> mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.minsize <min number of bytes> -Adi On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 2:11 AM, Harsh J <ha...@cloudera.com> wrote: > It applies to all Hadoop daemon processes (JT, TT, NN, SNN, DN) and > all direct commands executed via the 'hadoop' executable. > > On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 11:37 AM, Xiaobo Gu <guxiaobo1...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Is HADOOP_HEAPSIZE set for all Hadoop related Java processes, or just > > one Java process? > > > > Regards, > > > > Xiaobo Gu > > > > On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Lance Norskog <goks...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> If the server is dedicated to this job, you might as well give it > >> 10-15g.
