Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-2122:
-------------------------------------

+1 to this Jira.  It would be good to include these attributes as well for each 
parameter:
* the legal values
* the default value if it's unset
* the behaviour if the value is illegal (is the default taken or an exception 
thrown or ?)

> Document config parameters for each Map-Reduce class/interface

> I propose we add a table in the javadoc for each user-facing Map-Reduce 
> interface/class which lists, and provides details, of each and every config 
> parameter which has any bearing on that interface/class. Clearly some 
> parameters affect more than one place and they should be put in more than one 
> table.
> For e.g. 
> Mapper -> io.sort.mb, io.sort.factor
> Reducer -> fs.inmemory.size.mb
> ...
> etc.
> It would very nice to explain how it interacts with the framework and rest of 
> config params etc.
> Thoughts?
