----------------------------------
Hi
Casting to integer may not be a good idea, because the user might expect the
same heap as he configured but actually not.
It will be good if the variable is changed to long at the earliest at least in
trunk.
Since java support configuring the mx in bytes, it will be good if mapreduce
framework can support the big values
> JobConf.parseMaximumHeapSizeMB() fails to parse value greater than 2GB
> expressed in bytes
