如何知道Amazon EMR实例的MIN_CONTAINER_SIZE？

Question

How can I get the default setting of MIN_CONTAINER_SIZE on Amazon EMR cluster? Since I would like to calculate the memory usage of each node on EMR by using this formula

RAM-per-container = max(MIN_CONTAINER_SIZE, (Total Available RAM) / containers))

Thank you!

Answer 1

In EMR 4.x the default minimum container size is 256M. But the upper bound will be limited by the memory made available to the nodemanager per instance type ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-hadoop-task-config.html ). The amount of memory within 256M to upper bound is then at discretion of application and is configurable per application.

If you share your overall goal regarding memory/container usage more detail can be given to maximize for your desired outcome.
