Sreekanth Ramakrishnan commented on MAPREDUCE-478:
--------------------------------------------------

The patch currently does not apply on the trunk. The conflict is with 
mapred-tutorial.xml

We are not currently supporting deprecation of {{mapred.task.child.env}} 
variable whereas we are supporting deprecation of other variable.

Not related to this patch, there is no current documentation of 
{{mapred.task.child.env}} but shouldn't we document 
{{mapred.(map|reduce).child.env}}?

Also finally, shouldn't we have a test case to verify if we are having a proper 
backward compatibility with the options which we are introducing?


> separate jvm param for mapper and reducer

> Memory footprint of mapper and reducer can differ. 
> It would be nice if we can pass different jvm param (mapred.child.java.opts) 
> for mappers and reducers.
