OutOfMemory errors when using dynamic partition inserts with large number of 
partitions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2563
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.1
         Environment: Cloudera CDH3 Update 2 distro on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit 
cluster nodes
            Reporter: Evan Pollan


I'm trying to use dynamic partition inserts to mimic a legacy file generation 
process that creates a single file per combination of two record attributes, 
one with a low cardinality, and one with a high degree of cardinality.  In a 
small data set, I can do this successfully.  Using a larger data set on the 
same 11 node cluster, with a combined cardinality resulting in ~1600 
partitions, I get out of memory errors in the reduce phase 100% of the time.  

I'm running with the following settings, writing to a textfile-backed table 
with two partitions of type string:

SET hive.exec.compress.output=true; 
SET io.seqfile.compression.type=BLOCK;
SET mapred.max.map.failures.percent=100;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
SET hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions=10000;
SET hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions.pernode=10000;

(I've also tried gzip compression with the same result)


Here's an example of the error:
