Command Line Arguments for Client

Hi,

Could anyone tell how we could set the commandline arguments ( like -Xmx and -Xms) for the  client (not for the map/reduce tasks) from the command  that is usually used to launch the job? 

Thanks,
Krishnakumar

You can set the HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS environment variable to apply
additional JVM opts to all client side commands alone (fs, jar, etc.).
