Configuring a Hadoop cluster is something akin to voodoo. There are a large number of variables in hadoop-default.xml that you can override in hadoop-site.xml. Some specify file paths on your system, but others adjust levers and knobs deep inside Hadoop’s guts. Unfortuately, there’s little or no documentation on how to set them well. Is there a single optimal configuration? Are there some settings that can just be “set to 11?”
