[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-1850) eliminate parameters that must change with cluster size

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1850?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-1850:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
As far as possible, configurations should be independent of cluster size.  The cluster size is a parameter that the system knows and should thus be used to size things accordingly.  Currently we know that the following parameters must be adjusted to non-default values for large clusters:
 - mapred.job.tracker.handler.count
 - mapred.reduce.parallel.copies
 - tasktracker.http.threads

We should attempt to make each of these either set to something proportional to cluster size or (harder) dynamically sized based on load.
