[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-3936) Clients should not enforce counter limits

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13600327#comment-13600327 ] 

Ravi Prakash commented on MAPREDUCE-3936:
-----------------------------------------

bq. are you saying that we should remove the enforcement of limits in AMs, since the user could choose to do that by modifying the AM themselves?

Yes! Lets not artficially create limits and enforce them.

I am also a lot less worried about the HS. Its the same case if as a user I created a job with a billion tasks. The HS should handle that / degrade gracefully.

> The code for enforcing counter limits (from MAPREDUCE-1943) creates a static JobConf instance to load the limits, which may throw an exception if the client limit is set to be lower than the limit on the cluster (perhaps because the cluster limit was raised from the default).
