Hey Tim,

When a job runs, it will spawn a jvm, and set runtime parameters based on
the properties file

you can override those settings from the shell:

e.g - before you issue your "hadoop jar ...." command

     export HADOOP_HEAPSIZE=512


the hadoop shell script checks if this is set, and if so, should use its
value.

after this, if you have compiled your job, you have another opportunity to
override values, via your JobConf

@see
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.html

these settings will take final priority in you job

cheers,

Adam
