bin/hadoop script doesn't allow for different memory settings for each daemon type ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6167 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6167 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.20.0 Reporter: Fernando bin/hadoop assumes that all daemon types ( namenode, datanode, jobtracker, tasktracker ), all use the same memory settings.. (HADOOP_HEAPSIZE). I propose changes to that script to allow overriding the default memory ( HADOOP_HEAPSIZE ), with daemon specific OPTS (HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS, etc ). Basically at the bottom of the bin/hadoop script, it will check to see if the user has already set "-Xmx" in the HADOOP_OPTS variable.. if so, then it will ignore the JAVA_HEAP_SIZE variable.. as such: # run it if [[ $HADOOP_OPTS == *-Xmx* ]]; then exec "$JAVA" $HADOOP_OPTS -classpath "$CLASSPATH" $CLASS "$@" else exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_HEAP_MAX $HADOOP_OPTS -classpath "$CLASSPATH" $CLASS "$@" fi I will attach the file as I have modified it.. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
