Thanks Charles .. I'm running Hadoop for research to perform duplicate detection methods. To go deeper, I need to understand what's slowing my program, which usually starts with analyzing memory to predict best input size for map task. So you're saying piping can help me control memory even though it's running on VM eventually?
