[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-11804) Raise default heap size if unspecified

["Esteban Gutierrez (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11804?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14148650#comment-14148650 ] 

Esteban Gutierrez commented on HBASE-11804:
-------------------------------------------

[~eclark] The default is 1/4 of the total available memory as reported by the OS, so it should be better to have a number instead of leave it as the JVM default.

> On master running pe randomWrite with ten threads and the default heap size crashes the system.  This works on 0.98 and before.
> It's been a long time that 1000mb has been our default. Maybe we should start looking at raising that limit on master.
