Re: OutOfMemory

If you are using machines with only 512MB of memory, it is probably a very
bad idea to set minimum help size so large.

-Xms400M might be more appropriate.

I should say, though that if you have a program that is worth using hadoop
on, you have a problem that is worth having more memory on each processor.
Most of the work I do benefits more from memory than from processor, at
least up to >1-2GB RAM.
