ERP.hive-tt - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

tsunamii — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 20:54:38 GMT

What setting should I try increasing to avoid getting this Hunk + Hive error?

The failure happened while the ORC Record Reader is trying to read a stripe of data. Increasing the heap size should help.
In the Hunk Provider, what is the value of vix.env.HADOOP_HEAPSIZE?
By default it is 512 and increasing it should fix the OOM error.

Thanks @rdagan for the suggestion.

I have found the problem:
We recently upgraded the grid package, which also updated the file hadoop-env.sh and removed the line I had commented out the export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-Xmx128m ${HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS}" and thus I was not getting the HADOOP HEAP SIZE I thought.

I fixed that and now my job runs for a long time.

Keep in mind that the value for vix.env.HADOOP_HEAPSIZE is per Hunk search, increasing it too much and if
you run many concurrent searches can potentially exhaust your available physical memory.

I am in a situation where I cannot easily comment out the line in hadoop-env.sh (it gets overwritten when I update any packages.)

Is it possible to set these Hadoop variables with an export of HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS instead of setting them in indexes.conf? Does that work?

Yes, that should work, and I believe it's the preferred way to do this. The line mentioned above puts any user-defined Xmx value after the default 128m value, meaning the user-defined value should win.

Thanks Keith.

So to increase heap size to 2048 would that be export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-Xmx2048m"

kschon_splunk — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 21:21:06 GMT

Yes, that should work.

Re: ERP.hive-tt - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

burwell — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 21:37:14 GMT

Thanks. Is there a good way to test what the setting is? i.e. to make sure the EXPORT is working?

Re: ERP.hive-tt - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

A few points:

--I just realized we're ignoring the obvious way to handle this: change the vix.env.HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS setting in the provider. That will overwrite any value inherited from the user environment.

--To test what value is being used, you can edit your hadoop script. This will usually be in /bin/hadoop. You can insert a line that looks like:

echo $HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS > ~/my_hadoop_client_opts.txt

Then run a search in Hunk, and see what that file contains.

--Depending on your Hadoop distribution, you may need to set $HADOOP_OPTS instead.

Hope that helps.
