</property>

<property>
  <name>mapreduce.tasktracker.outofband.heartbeat.damper</name>
  <value>1000000</value>
  <description>When out-of-band heartbeats are enabled, provides
  damping to avoid overwhelming the JobTracker if too many out-of-band
  heartbeats would occur. The damping is calculated such that the
  heartbeat interval is divided by (T*D + 1) where T is the number
  of completed tasks and D is the damper value.
  
  Setting this to a high value like the default provides no damping --
  as soon as any task finishes, a heartbeat will be sent. Setting this
  parameter to 0 is equivalent to disabling the out-of-band heartbeat feature.
  A value of 1 would indicate that, after one task has completed, the
  time to wait before the next heartbeat would be 1/2 the usual time.
  After two tasks have finished, it would be 1/3 the usual time, etc.

<property>
  <name>mapred.max.tracker.blacklists</name>
  <value>4</value>
  <description>The number of blacklists for a tasktracker by various jobs
               after which the tasktracker will be marked as potentially
               faulty and is a candidate for graylisting across all jobs.
               (Unlike blacklisting, this is advisory; the tracker remains
               active.  However, it is reported as graylisted in the web UI,
               with the expectation that chronically graylisted trackers
               will be manually decommissioned.)  This value is tied to
               mapred.jobtracker.blacklist.fault-timeout-window; faults
               older than the window width are forgiven, so the tracker
               will recover from transient problems.  It will also become
               healthy after a restart.
  </description>
</property> 

<property>

  <value>180</value>
  <description>The timeout (in minutes) after which per-job tasktracker
               faults are forgiven.  The window is logically a circular
               buffer of time-interval buckets whose width is defined by
               mapred.jobtracker.blacklist.fault-bucket-width; when the
               "now" pointer moves across a bucket boundary, the previous
               contents (faults) of the new bucket are cleared.  In other
               words, the timeout's granularity is determined by the bucket
               width.
  </description>
</property> 

<property>

<property>
  <name>mapred.queue.names</name>
  <value>default</value>
  <description> Comma separated list of queues configured for this jobtracker.
    Jobs are added to queues and schedulers can configure different 
    scheduling properties for the various queues. To configure a property 
    for a queue, the name of the queue must match the name specified in this 
    value. Queue properties that are common to all schedulers are configured 
    here with the naming convention, mapred.queue.$QUEUE-NAME.$PROPERTY-NAME,
    for e.g. mapred.queue.default.submit-job-acl.
    The number of queues configured in this parameter could depend on the
    type of scheduler being used, as specified in 
    mapred.jobtracker.taskScheduler. For example, the JobQueueTaskScheduler
    supports only a single queue, which is the default configured here.
    Before adding more queues, ensure that the scheduler you've configured
    supports multiple queues.

<property>

    ACLs are disabled by default. If enabled, access control checks are made by
    JobTracker and TaskTracker when requests are made by users for queue
    operations like submit job to a queue and kill a job in the queue and job
    operations like viewing the job-details (See mapreduce.job.acl-view-job)
    or for modifying the job (See mapreduce.job.acl-modify-job) using
    Map/Reduce APIs, RPCs or via the console and web user interfaces.

    for the queue must allow the current user to submit a job to the queue.
    Before specifying a queue, ensure that the system is configured with 
    the queue, and access is allowed for submitting jobs to the queue.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>mapreduce.job.acl-modify-job</name>
  <value> </value>
  <description> Job specific access-control list for 'modifying' the job. It
    is only used if authorization is enabled in Map/Reduce by setting the
    configuration property mapred.acls.enabled to true.
    This specifies the list of users and/or groups who can do modification
    operations on the job. For specifying a list of users and groups the
    format to use is "user1,user2 group1,group". If set to '*', it allows all
    users/groups to modify this job. If set to ' '(i.e. space), it allows
    none. This configuration is used to guard all the modifications with respect
    to this job and takes care of all the following operations:
      o killing this job
      o killing a task of this job, failing a task of this job
      o setting the priority of this job
    Each of these operations are also protected by the per-queue level ACL
    "acl-administer-jobs" configured via mapred-queues.xml. So a caller should
    have the authorization to satisfy either the queue-level ACL or the
    job-level ACL.

    Irrespective of this ACL configuration, job-owner, the user who started the
    cluster, cluster administrators configured via
    mapreduce.cluster.administrators and queue administrators of the queue to
    which this job is submitted to configured via
    mapred.queue.queue-name.acl-administer-jobs  in mapred-queue-acls.xml can
    do all the modification operations on a job.

    By default, nobody else besides job-owner, the user who started the cluster,
    cluster administrators and queue administrators can perform modification
    operations on a job.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>mapreduce.job.acl-view-job</name>
  <value> </value>
  <description> Job specific access-control list for 'viewing' the job. It is
    only used if authorization is enabled in Map/Reduce by setting the
    configuration property mapred.acls.enabled to true.
    This specifies the list of users and/or groups who can view private details
    about the job. For specifying a list of users and groups the
    format to use is "user1,user2 group1,group". If set to '*', it allows all
    users/groups to modify this job. If set to ' '(i.e. space), it allows
    none. This configuration is used to guard some of the job-views and at
    present only protects APIs that can return possibly sensitive information
    of the job-owner like
      o job-level counters
      o task-level counters
      o tasks' diagnostic information
      o task-logs displayed on the TaskTracker web-UI and
      o job.xml showed by the JobTracker's web-UI
    Every other piece of information of jobs is still accessible by any other
    user, for e.g., JobStatus, JobProfile, list of jobs in the queue, etc.
    
    Irrespective of this ACL configuration, job-owner, the user who started the
    cluster, cluster administrators configured via
    mapreduce.cluster.administrators and queue administrators of the queue to
    which this job is submitted to configured via
    mapred.queue.queue-name.acl-administer-jobs in mapred-queue-acls.xml can do
    all the view operations on a job.
    
    By default, nobody else besides job-owner, the user who started the
    cluster, cluster administrators and queue administrators can perform
    view operations on a job.
