     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5564?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HADOOP-5564:
-------------------------------------------

    Component/s: build
       Priority: Blocker  (was: Major)

As Koji suggested, we probably should add -Xmx to limit the memory usage.

> Command used to determine JAVA_PLATFORM in bin/hadoop command does not set the heap size. The command uses default 1GB heap size. The tasks invoking hadoop command end up  using large heap size in streaming jobs. If the maximum memory that can be used by a task is restricted, this could result in map/reduce job failures.
