Hello All,

I am running my job on a Hadoop Cluster and it fails due to insufficient
Java Heap Memory.

I searched in google, and found that I need to add the following into the
conf files:
  <property>
    <name>mapred.child.java.opts</name>
    <value>-Xmx2000m</value>
  </property>

However, I don't want to request the administrator to change settings as it
is a long process.

Is there a way I can ask Hadoop to use more Heap Space in the Slave nodes
without changing the conf files via some command line parameter?

Thanks & regards
Arko
