Hey JM, I suspect they are referring to the DN process only. It is important in these discussion to talk about individual component memory usage. In my experience most HBase clusters only need 1 - 2 GB of heap space for the DN process. I am not a Map Reduce expert, but typically the actual TT process only needs 1GB of memory then you control everything else through max slots and child heap. What is your current block count per DN?
