Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-4189:
------------------------------------

bq. we should actually set the default in hadoop-default to the real value 
instead of 0, -1, or "".
+1.

bq. we should mark it expert
+1. Will add this to the comment

bq. if it isn't already, I think this should be only configured by the cluster, 
not the job.
This value is used when the jobtracker starts. So its per cluster and not per 
job.

bq. As to the defaults ....
On an avg I found ~300-350 characters per line. Which makes 600-700 bytes per 
line. Hence with 1mb block size we risk ~1750 lines, i.e 875 task updates (as 
they come in pairs). Which I think should be ok. Thoughts?
