I have a 3 node cluster set up using the Cloudera Manager Installer Cloudera 5.5.x in Cloudera Express mode.

I have changed the default values and set the values below for the following variables in the configuration screen for YARN.

mapreduce.map.java.opts -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx3276m
mapreduce.reduce.java.opts -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx3276m
mapreduce.map.memory.mb   4GiB
mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb 4GiB
mapreduce.map.java.opts.max.heap 3276 MiB
mapreduce.reduce.java.opts.max.heap 3276 MiB
yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb 4GiB

I am trying to set the max container memory to 4GB and the max map|reduce heap size to 3276MB as can be seen in the values above, and after setting these values I have also restarted the cluster, however the mapreduce jobs fail with the following error message as the max container memory is still set to 1GB, can someone please let me know if this a known issue with CM/CDH Cloudera 5.5.x when installed in Cloudera Express mode?
