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: 2011-11-09 00:51:52,425 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator: New Final Path: FS hdfs://ec2-50-19-131-121.compute-1.amazonaws.com/tmp/hive-hdfs/hive_2011-11-09_00-48-57_840_6003656718210084497/_tmp.-ext-10000/requestday=2011-09-29/clientname=XXXX-JA/000008_0.deflate 2011-11-09 00:51:52,461 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskLogsTruncater: Initializing logs' truncater with mapRetainSize=-1 and reduceRetainSize=-1 2011-11-09 00:51:52,464 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child: Error running child : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method) at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:640) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient$DFSOutputStream.<init>(DFSClient.java:2931) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.create(DFSClient.java:544) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.create(DistributedFileSystem.java:219) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:584) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:565) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:472) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:464) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat.getHiveRecordWriter(HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat.java:80) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveFileFormatUtils.getRecordWriter(HiveFileFormatUtils.java:247) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveFileFormatUtils.getHiveRecordWriter(HiveFileFormatUtils.java:235) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.createBucketFiles(FileSinkOperator.java:458) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.getDynOutWriters(FileSinkOperator.java:599) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FileSinkOperator.processOp(FileSinkOperator.java:539) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:471) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.forward(Operator.java:744) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.SelectOperator.processOp(SelectOperator.java:84) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:471) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.forward(Operator.java:744) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.GroupByOperator.forward(GroupByOperator.java:959) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.GroupByOperator.processAggr(GroupByOperator.java:798) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.GroupByOperator.processOp(GroupByOperator.java:724) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Operator.process(Operator.java:471) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.ExecReducer.reduce(ExecReducer.java:247) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask.runOldReducer(ReduceTask.java:469) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask.run(ReduceTask.java:417) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child$4.run(Child.java:270) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1127) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:264) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
