 +Every Hadoop option has a read-only default. These are overridden by cluster specific options. Lastly, all of these are overridden by job specific options given on the command line (or set using the Java API).
  
 +===== A brief list of Hadoop options =====
 +^ Hadoop option ^ Default value ^ Description ^
 +| ''mapred.job.tracker'' | ? | Cluster master. |
 +| ''mapred.reduce.tasks'' | 1 | Number of reducers. |
 +| ''mapred.min.split.size'' | 1 | Minimum size of file split in bytes. |
 +| ''mapred.max.split.size'' | 2%%^%%63-1 | Minimum size of file split in bytes. |
 +| ''mapred.map.tasks.speculative.execution'' | true | If true, then multiple instances of some map tasks may be executed in parallel. |
 +| ''mapred.reduce.tasks.speculative.execution'' | true | If true, then multiple instances of some reduce tasks may be executed in parallel. |
 +| ''mapred.compress.map.output'' | false | Should the outputs of the maps be compressed before being sent across the network. Uses SequenceFile compression. |
  
 +A more complete list (but not exhaustive) can be found [[http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.0/mapred-default.html|here]].

 +===== Mapping of Perl options to Hadoop =====
 +^ Perl options ^ Hadoop options ^
 +| no options \\ (running locally) | ''-Dmapred.job.tracker=local'' \\ ''-Dmapred.local.dir=hadoop-localrunner-tmp'' \\ ''-Dhadoop.tmp.dir=hadoop-localrunner-tmp'' |
 +| ''-jt cluster_master'' | ''-Dmapred.job.tracker=cluster_master'' |
 +| ''-c cluster_machines'' | The configuration of new cluster contains \\ ''-Dmapred.job.tracker=cluster_master'' |
 +| ''-r number_of_reducers'' | ''-Dmapred.reduce.tasks=number_of_reducers'' |
