Ray Chiang commented on MAPREDUCE-6622:
---------------------------------------
While I do have some doubts about general Guava library compatibility, I don't
have a lot with their Cache library. While I was trying to figure out how to
implement this, I wrote up some separate code using the latest (v19) and the
same API calls worked fine in the upstream tree (v11).
> Add capability to set JHS job cache to a task-based limit

> When setting the property mapreduce.jobhistory.loadedjobs.cache.size the jobs
> can be of varying size. This is generally not a problem when the jobs sizes
> are uniform or small, but when the job sizes can be very large (say greater
> than 250k tasks), then the JHS heap size can grow tremendously.
> In cases, where multiple jobs are very large, then the JHS can lock up and
> spend all its time in GC. However, since the cache is holding on to all the
> jobs, not much heap space can be freed up.
> By setting a property that sets a cap on the number of tasks allowed in the
> cache and since the total number of tasks loaded is directly proportional to
> the amount of heap used, this should help prevent the JHS from locking up.
