                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1943
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mahadev konar
            Assignee: Mahadev konar
             Fix For: 0.22.0


We have come across issues in production clusters wherein users abuse counters, 
statusreport messages and split sizes. One such case was when one of the users 
had 100 million counters. This leads to jobtracker going out of memory and 
being unresponsive. In this jira I am proposing to put sane limits on the 
status report length, the number of counters and the size of block locations 
returned by the input split.
