eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-1867:
---------------------------------------------

it would be great if we could automagically choose reasonable defaults.  We'll 
still want a memory for M-R override since issues like what other code you run 
aon a node will dictate your preferred RAM allocated to M-R.

> use single parameter to specify a node's available ram

> To simplify configuration, we should use a single parameter to indicate a 
> node's available RAM.  Sites should not need to adjust more than this single 
> parameter to configure nodes available memory.  In task JVMs, some 
> significant percentage of the memory should be reserved for application code, 
> with the remainder divided among various system buffers.
