Philip Zeyliger commented on MAPREDUCE-5653: -------------------------------------------- Allen, do you think there's more than just this one Xmx passthrough that's affecting DistCP? There's not much smarts it needs: it's not like it's every doing anything besides copying files. Hadn't seen MAPREDUCE-5785. Agree that that's an excellent direction. > DistCp does not honour config-overrides for mapreduce.[map,reduce].memory.mb > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5653 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5653 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: distcp > Affects Versions: 0.23.9, 2.2.0 > Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan > Assignee: Ratandeep Ratti > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5653.branch-0.23.patch, > MAPREDUCE-5653.branch-2.patch, MAPREDUCE-5653.trunk.2.patch, > MAPREDUCE-5653.trunk.patch > > > When a DistCp job is run through Oozie (through a Java action that launches > DistCp), one sees that mapred.child.java.opts as set from the caller is > honoured by DistCp. But, DistCp doesn't seem to honour any overrides for > configs mapreduce.[map,reduce].memory.mb. > Problem has been identified. I'll post a patch shortly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
