[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-3812) Change default memory slot sizes to be 1.5GB

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3812?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13258899#comment-13258899 ] 

Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-3812:
------------------------------------

Didn't realize this patch changed the way allocs would get read, or that it was doing more than just changing default AM memory requirements. Would save me a lot of work I've otherwise been doing on MAPREDUCE-4026 and MAPREDUCE-4027.

I'll take over this one since it looks to have gone stale. Thanks for revamping the whole default way of reading the allocs - much simpler way now. No idea why there was per-scheduler configs before when you can't use more than one scheduler anyway.

> After a few performance improvements tracked at MAPREDUCE-3561, like MAPREDUCE-3511 and MAPREDUCE-3567, even a 100K maps job can also run within 1GB vmem. We earlier increased AM slot size from 1 slot to two slots to work around the issues with AM heap. Now that those are fixed, we should go back to 1GB.
> This is just a configuration change.
