`mapr.fs.permissions.superuser`	mapr	The super user of the MapR file system layer.

`mfs.db.parallel.copyregions`	4	The number of parallel copy regions per MFS instance. Setting this field to a larger value increases the parallelism for data transfers during index updates, CDC propagation, and table replication. This increases the transfer rate and reduces the initial synchronization time, but uses more system resources.

`mfs.high.memory.alarm.threshold`	110 (percentage of allocated memory)	Threshold for raising NODE_ALARM_HIGH_MFS_MEMORY alarm.
