I am on my way for becoming a cloudera Hadoop administrator. Since my start, I am hearing a lot about computing slots per machine in a Hadoop Cluster like defining number of Map Slots and Reduce slots.
I have searched internet for a log time for getting a Noob definition for a Map Reduce Slot but didn't find any.
I am really pissed off by going through PDF's explaining the configuration of Map Reduce.
Please explain what exactly it means when it comes to a computing slot in a Machine of a cluster.

What is MapReduce? MapReduce is a programming model or pattern within the Hadoop framework that is used to access big data stored in the Hadoop File System (HDFS). It is a core component, integral to the functioning of the Hadoop framework.
MapReduce is a big data analysis model that processes data sets using a parallel algorithm on computer clusters, typically Apache Hadoop clusters or cloud systems like Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) clusters. A software framework and programming model called MapReduce is used to process enormous volumes of data.
A MapReduce job usually splits the input data-set into independent chunks which are processed by the map tasks in a completely parallel manner. The framework sorts the outputs of the maps, which are then input to the reduce tasks. Typically both the input and the output of the job are stored in a file-system.
MapReduce is a programming model used for efficient processing in parallel over large data-sets in a distributed manner. The data is first split and then combined to produce the final result. The libraries for MapReduce is written in so many programming languages with various different-different optimizations.
In map-reduce v.1 mapreduce.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum and mapreduce.tasktracker.reduce.tasks.maximum are used to configure number of map slots and reduce slots accordingly in mapred-site.xml.
starting from map-reduce v.2 (YARN), containers is a more generic term is used instead of slots, containers represents the max number of tasks that can run in parallel under the node regardless being Map task, Reduce task or application master task (in YARN).
