You observe that the number of spilled records from Map tasks far exceeds the number of map
output records. Your child heap size is 1GB and your io.sort.mb value is set to 100 MB. How
would you tune your io.sort.mb value to achieve maximum memory to disk I/O ratio?
A.
Decrease the io.sort.mb value to 0
B.
Increase the io.sort.mb to 1GB
C.
For 1GB child heap size an io.sort.mb of 128 MB will always maximize memory to disk I/O
D.
Tune the io.sort.mb value until you observe that the number of spilled records equals (or is as
close to equals) the number of map output records
