| I/O Sort Factor | The number of streams to merge at the same time while sorting files. That is, the number of sort heads to use during the merge sort on the reducer side. This determines the number of open file handles. Merging more files in parallel reduces merge sort iterations and improves run time by eliminating disk I/O. Note that merging more files in parallel uses more memory. If 'io.sort.factor' is set too high or the maximum JVM heap is set too low, excessive garbage collection will occur. The Hadoop default is 10, but Cloudera recommends a higher value. Will be part of generated client configuration. | io.sort.factor | 64 | io_sort_factor | false |
| I/O Sort Memory Buffer (MiB) | The total amount of memory buffer, in megabytes, to use while sorting files. Note that this memory comes out of the user JVM heap size (meaning total user JVM heap - this amount of memory = total user usable heap space. Note that Cloudera's default differs from Hadoop's default; Cloudera uses a bigger buffer by default because modern machines often have more RAM. The smallest value across all TaskTrackers will be part of generated client configuration. | io.sort.mb | 256 MiB | io_sort_mb | false |
| I/O Sort Record Percent | The percentage of 'io.sort.mb' dedicated to tracking record boundaries. If this value is represented as 'r', and 'io.sort.mb' is represented as 'x', then the maximum number of records collected before the collection thread must block is equal to (r * x) / 4.

| I/O Sort Spill Percent | The soft limit in either the buffer or record collection buffers. When this limit is reached, a thread will begin to spill the contents to disk in the background. Note that this does not imply any chunking of data to the spill. A value less than 0.5 is not recommended. The syntax is in decimal units; the default is 80% and is formatted 0.8.

The configuration variable 'mapred.child.ulimit' can be used to control the maximum virtual memory of the child processes. Note that unlike Hadoop, Cloudera Manager separates the child options into this setting and a separate setting just for the maximum heap size.

This provides a means to limit how much excess capacity a queue can use. By default, there is no limit. The maximum-capacity of a queue can only be greater than or equal to its minimum capacity. Default value of -1 implies a queue can use complete capacity of the cluster. This property could be to curtail certain jobs which are long running in nature from occupying more than a certain percentage of the cluster, which in the absence of pre-emption, could lead to capacity guarantees of other queues being affected. One important thing to note is that maximum-capacity is a percentage , so based on the cluster's capacity the max capacity would change. So if large no of nodes or racks get added to the cluster , max Capacity in absolute terms would increase accordingly. </description> </property> <property> <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.supports-priority</name> <value>false</value> <description>If true, priorities of jobs will be taken into account in scheduling decisions. </description> </property> <property> <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.minimum-user-limit-percent</name> <value>100</value> <description> Each queue enforces a limit on the percentage of resources allocated to a user at any given time, if there is competition for them. This user limit can vary between a minimum and maximum value. The former depends on the number of users who have submitted jobs, and the latter is set to this property value. For example, suppose the value of this property is 25. If two users have submitted jobs to a queue, no single user can use more than 50% of the queue resources. If a third user submits a job, no single user can use more than 33% of the queue resources. With 4 or more users, no user can use more than 25% of the queue's resources.

| Fair Scheduler Allocation Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) | Enter an XML string that represents the Fair Scheduler allocation pools. | <?xml version=1.0?> <allocations> </allocations> | mapred_fairscheduler_allocation | false | |
| Fair Scheduler Allow Undeclared Pools | Enable job submission to pools not declared in the allocation file. | mapred.fairscheduler.allow.undeclared.pools | true | mapred_fairscheduler_allow_undeclared_pools | false |
| Fair Scheduler Assign Multiple Tasks | Allows the Fair Scheduler to assign both a map task and a reduce task on each Cloudera Agent heartbeat, which improves cluster throughput when there are many small tasks to run. | mapred.fairscheduler.assignmultiple | true | mapred_fairscheduler_assignmultiple | false |
| Fair Scheduler Pool Name Property | Specify the 'jobconf' property that determines the pool that a job belongs in. The default is 'user.name' (one pool for each user). If you want to use MapReduce's "queue" system to enable authorization for the Fair Scheduler, specify 'mapred.job.queue.name'. This requires adding the Fair Scheduler's pool names to 'mapred.queue.names' and users to submit jobs using the 'mapred.job.queue.name' property instead of the 'mapred.fairscheduler.pool' property. Note that 'mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty' is used only for jobs in which 'mapred.fairscheduler.pool' is not explicitly set. | mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty | user.name | mapred_fairscheduler_poolnameproperty | false |
| Fair Scheduler Preemption | Enables Fair Scheduler preemption. If a pool's minimum share is not met for some period of time, the Fair Scheduler optionally supports preemption of jobs in other pools. The pool will be allowed to kill tasks from other pools to make room to run. Preemption can be used to guarantee that production jobs are not starved while also allowing the Hadoop cluster to be used for experimental and research jobs. In addition, a pool can also be allowed to preempt tasks if it is below half of its fair share for a configurable timeout (generally set larger than the minimum share preemption timeout). When choosing tasks to kill, the Fair Scheduler picks the most-recently launched tasks from over-allocated jobs, to minimize wasted computation. Preemption does not cause the preempted jobs to fail because Hadoop jobs tolerate losing tasks; it only makes them take longer to finish. | mapred.fairscheduler.preemption | false | mapred_fairscheduler_preemption | false |
| Fair Scheduler Weight Adjuster | An extension point that lets you specify a class to adjust the weights of running jobs. This class should implement the WeightAdjuster interface. There is currently one example implementation - NewJobWeightBooster, which increases the weight of jobs for their first 5 minutes to let short jobs finish faster. To use it, set the weightadjuster property to the full classname, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.NewJobWeightBooster. NewJobWeightBooster itself provides two parameters for setting the duration and boost factor. mapred.newjobweightbooster.factor: Factor by which new jobs weight should be boosted. Default is 3. mapred.newjobweightbooster.duration: Boost duration in milliseconds. Default is 300000 for 5 minutes. | mapred.fairscheduler.weight.adjuster | mapred_fairscheduler_weight_adjuster | false | |
| Persist JobTracker Job Status | If enabled, job status information is persisted. | mapred.job.tracker.persist.jobstatus.active | false | mapred_job_tracker_persist_jobstatus_active | false |

The directory must exist and be owned by the mapred user. | mapred.job.tracker.persist.jobstatus.dir | /jobtracker/jobsInfo | mapred_job_tracker_persist_jobstatus_dir | false |
| Time Limit of JobTracker Job Status Persistence | The number of hours job status information is persisted in HDFS. The job status information will be available after it drops out of the memory queue and between JobTracker restarts. If zero is specified for this property, the job status information is not persisted. | mapred.job.tracker.persist.jobstatus.hours | 0 | mapred_job_tracker_persist_jobstatus_hours | false |
| Maximum Completed User Jobs | The maximum number of completed jobs per user to retain before delegating them to the job history. | mapred.jobtracker.completeuserjobs.maximum | 5 | mapred_jobtracker_completeuserjobs_maximum | false |
| Enable Job Recovery Upon Restart | Enables job recovery upon restart. If the property is set to true, then if and when the JobTracker stops while a job is running, it will resubmit the job on restart. | mapred.jobtracker.restart.recover | false | mapred_jobtracker_restart_recover | false |
| JobTracker Retire Job Interval (milliseconds) | Number of milliseconds job history objects are kept. | mapred.jobtracker.retirejob.interval | 86400000 | mapred_jobtracker_retirejob_interval | false |
| MapReduce Queue Names | Comma separated list of queues configured for the JobTracker in this service instance. Jobs are added to queues. Schedulers can configure different scheduling properties for the queues specified in this list. You can configure queue properties that are common to all schedulers, by using the naming convention 'mapred.queue.$QUEUE-NAME.$PROPERTY-NAME' in this property (for example, 'mapred.queue.default.submit-job-acl'). The number of queues configured in this property depends on the type of scheduler specified in 'mapred.jobtracker.taskScheduler'. The default scheduler JobQueueTaskScheduler supports a single queue only. Before adding more queues to this property, make sure that the scheduler in 'mapred.jobtracker.taskScheduler' supports multiple queues. This property can also be populated with the Fair Scheduler's pool names to enable authorization of the Fair Scheduler. This requires setting 'mapred.fairscheduler.poolnameproperty' to 'mapred.job.queue.name' and users to submit jobs to the right queue by setting the 'mapred.job.queue.name' property in their jobs. | mapred.queue.names | default | mapred_queue_names_list | false |

Must be between 100 and 1000. Defaults to 1000 for processes not managed by Cloudera Manager. | blkio.weight | 500 | rm_io_weight | true |
| Cgroup Memory Hard Limit | Hard memory limit to assign to this role, enforced by the Linux kernel. When the limit is reached, the kernel will reclaim pages charged to the process. If reclaiming fails, the kernel may kill the process. Both anonymous as well as page cache pages contribute to the limit. Use a value of -1 B to specify no limit. By default processes not managed by Cloudera Manager will have no limit. | memory.limit_in_bytes | -1 MiB | rm_memory_hard_limit | true |
| Cgroup Memory Soft Limit | Soft memory limit to assign to this role, enforced by the Linux kernel. When the limit is reached, the kernel will reclaim pages charged to the process if and only if the host is facing memory pressure. If reclaiming fails, the kernel may kill the process. Both anonymous as well as page cache pages contribute to the limit. Use a value of -1 B to specify no limit. By default processes not managed by Cloudera Manager will have no limit. | memory.soft_limit_in_bytes | -1 MiB | rm_memory_soft_limit | true |
| Java Heap Size of TaskTracker in Bytes | Maximum size in bytes for the Java Process heap memory. Passed to Java -Xmx. | 1 GiB | task_tracker_java_heapsize | false |

| Users Banned from Job Submission | Comma-separated list of users banned from submitting MapReduce jobs to this TaskTracker. Only applies when the TaskTracker is running in secure mode | banned.users | mapred, hdfs, bin | taskcontroller_banned_users | false |
| Task Controller Group | The system group that owns the task-controller binary. This does not need to be changed unless the ownership of the binary is explicitly changed. | mapreduce.tasktracker.group | mapred | taskcontroller_group | false |
| Minimum User ID for Job Submission | The lowest user ID (UID) that a user may have in order to submit a job to this TaskTracker. Only applies when the TaskTracker is running in secure mode | min.user.id | 1000 | taskcontroller_min_user_id | false |
Stacks Collection
| Display Name | Description | Related Name | Default Value | API Name | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stacks Collection Data Retention | The amount of stacks data that is retained. After the retention limit is reached, the oldest data is deleted. | stacks_collection_data_retention | 100 MiB | stacks_collection_data_retention | false |
| Stacks Collection Directory | The directory in which stacks logs are placed. If not set, stacks are logged into a stacks subdirectory of the role's log directory. | stacks_collection_directory | stacks_collection_directory | false | |
| Stacks Collection Enabled | Whether or not periodic stacks collection is enabled. | stacks_collection_enabled | false | stacks_collection_enabled | true |
| Stacks Collection Frequency | The frequency with which stacks are collected. | stacks_collection_frequency | 5.0 second(s) | stacks_collection_frequency | false |
| Stacks Collection Method | The method used to collect stacks. The jstack option involves periodically running the jstack command against the role's daemon process. The servlet method is available for those roles that have an HTTP server endpoint exposing the current stacks traces of all threads. When the servlet method is selected, that HTTP endpoint is periodically scraped. | stacks_collection_method | jstack | stacks_collection_method | false |
