> We recently got some customer issue with NameNode crash caused by native code error. Because the default ulimit for core file size is zero, the customer could not get a core dump and thus it makes it very hard to debug the issue.
> As more native code is added to improve system performance, we would expect to see more JVM crashes caused by errors in the native code before the code is eventually stabilized .
> We would like to set unlimit to the core file size on the host running NameNode and DataNode or any host where the native code is invoked.
> Let's add this step though Abmari.
> By default on Linux, the limit is zero, and thus core file can't be created. 
> $> ulimit -c
> 0
> The command to set unlimited core file size is:
> $> ulimit -c unlimited
> after this, we can double check the limit:
> $> ulimit -c
> unlimited
> We can do this setting immediately before starting Hadoop service. The setting will take effect since the Hadoop service will be started in the same shell.
