Description

As MapReduce is a batch framework of calculation, so people may want to run application A as well as application B 、C, and a limit resource be put on A. A good way to do so is that we can limit the number of application's map task or reduce task. If we set mapreduce.map.num.max as M, then the map task number will not exceed M. At the same time, if we set mapreduce.map.num.max as R, then the reduce task number will not exceed R
