 +^ Run locally | ''input output'' | 
 +^ Run using specified jobtracker | ''-jt jobtracker:port input output'' |

 +^ Run using //M// mappers | ''`/net/projects/hadoop/bin/compute-splitsize input M` input output'' | 
 + 
 +From February 2012, using the parameter ''-w'' makes Hadoop to wait W seconds after the **last** task is finished. This means that you can start a cluster for one task (with ''-c N_machines -w W_seconds'') and reuse it (with ''-jt jobtracker:port'') for other tasks without worries that the other tasks will be killed before finishing. 
 + 
 +===== Running multiple jobs ===== 
 +There are several ways of running multiple jobs: 
 +  * Java only: Create multiple ''Job'' instances and call ''submit'' or ''waitForCompletion'' multiple times 
 +  * Create a cluster using ''/net/projects/hadoop/bin/hadoop-cluster'', parse the jobtracker:port using ''head -1'' and run the jobs using ''-jt jobtracker:port'' 
 +  * Create a shell script running multiple jobs using ''-jt HADOOP_JOBTRACKER''. Then run it using ''//net/projects/hadoop/bin/hadoop-cluster -c machines script.sh''.
