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 > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-478 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-478 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Koji Noguchi > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-5684_0_20090420.patch, > MAPREDUCE-478_0_20090804.patch, MAPREDUCE-478_0_20090804_yhadoop20.patch, > MAPREDUCE-478_1_20090806.patch, MAPREDUCE-478_1_20090806_yhadoop20.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
