Andrzej Bialecki  commented on NUTCH-186:
-----------------------------------------

I agree. A patch would be welcome.

I wonder whether it's a good idea to follow the pattern of nutch-default/nutch-site and use a pair of mapred-default/mapred-site.xml ... It would be more understandable for users.

>      Project: Nutch

>     Priority: Minor

> If mapred.map.tasks and mapred.reduce.tasks are defined in nutch-site.xml and also in mapred-default.xml the definitions from nutch-site.xml are those that will take effect.
> So if a user mistakenly copies those entries into nutch-site.xml from the nutch-default.xml she will not understand what happens.
> I would like to propose removing these setting completely from the nutch-default.xml and put it only in mapred-default.xml where it belongs.
> I will be happy to supply a patch for that  if the proposition accepted.
