QUESTION: 1
Your cluster's mapred-start.xml includes the following parameters
<name>mapreduce.map.memory.mb</name>
<value>4096</value>
<name>mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb</name>
<value>8192</value>
And any cluster's yarn-site.xml includes the following parameters
<name>yarn.nodemanager.vmen-pmen-ration</name>
<value>2.1</value>
What is the maximum amount of virtual memory allocated for each map task before YARN will
kil its Container?

A. 4 GB
B. 17.2 GB
C. 8.9 GB
D. 8.2 GB
E. 24.6 GB

Answer(s): D
Explanation:
In order to get maximum amount of virtual memory allocated for each map task, you have to
multiply mapreduce.map.memory.mb with yarn.nodemanager.vmen- pmen-ration. The result
would be 8601.6 MB. So the nearest answer is 8.2 since 8.9 is more than 8601.6 MB.
