Hi Harsh,

Is there a recommanded way to configure this value? I think I read
something like 0.7 x cores but I'm not 100% sure...

There's probably different variables (esp. since you run HBase,
calculated resources) involved for this, but you can generally find
some reading material on this in books and
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowManyMapsAndReduces which should help
you come to a good value. Pro-tip I usually get from Todd:
Consistently monitor and tune, for it is harmless to restart a slave
to set in new values.
