You Have Recently Converted Your Hadoop Cluster from a MapReduce

Multiple Choice

You have recently converted your Hadoop cluster from a MapReduce 1 (MRv1) architecture to MapReduce 2 (MRv2) on YARN architecture. Your developers are accustomed to specifying map and reduce tasks (resource allocation) tasks when they run jobs: A developer wants to know how specify to reduce tasks when a specific job runs. Which method should you tell that developers to implement?

A) MapReduce version 2 (MRv2) on YARN abstracts resource allocation away from the idea of "tasks" into memory and virtual cores, thus eliminating the need for a developer to specify the number of reduce tasks, and indeed preventing the developer from specifying the number of reduce tasks.
B) In YARN, resource allocations is a function of megabytes of memory in multiples of 1024mb. Thus, they should specify the amount of memory resource they need by executing -D mapreduce-reduces.memory-mb-2048
C) In YARN, the ApplicationMaster is responsible for requesting the resource required for a specific launch. Thus, executing -D yarn.applicationmaster.reduce.tasks=2 will specify that the ApplicationMaster launch two task contains on the worker nodes.
D) Developers specify reduce tasks in the exact same way for both MapReduce version 1 (MRv1) and MapReduce version 2 (MRv2) on YARN. Thus, executing -D mapreduce.job.reduces-2 will specify reduce tasks.
E) In YARN, resource allocation is function of virtual cores specified by the ApplicationManager making requests to the NodeManager where a reduce task is handeled by a single container (and thus a single virtual core) . Thus, the developer needs to specify the number of virtual cores to the NodeManager by executing -p yarn.nodemanager.cpu-vcores=2
