          Description

          We can use the jclouds node metadata to find out the number of cores per node, and use it to set the mapred.tasktracker.

          {map,reduce}

          .tasks.maximum properties.

              I've just committed this. I believe it's a good idea to handle the memory options as part of WHIRR-229.

              Good point. I think we can commit this one, and look at the memory options in another JIRA.

              +1 Looks good. I think we can also do a better job at setting a default value for hadoop-mapreduce.mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx550m.

              This patch sets the above Hadoop properties dynamically, as well as mapred.reduce.tasks (to the number of reduce slots in the cluster).

              In addition to the unit test I have run the Hadoop integration test, and tried spinning up a small cluster with larger instance sizes and observed more cluster slots.
