Mithun Radhakrishnan updated HIVE-3098:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: Hive-3098_(FS_closeAllForUGI()).patch
Good news.
After applying the following change (i.e. to use FS.closeAllForUGI(), as was
intended), I see that the memory footprint doesn't grow as before. The cleanup
of FS handles is better.
I left my stress-test running overnight. I see that the memory-footprint does
grow when compared to running with the UGICache, (22MB vs 75MB). But it doesn't
grow to the ludicrous proportions of the past (2GB). I'm going to put the
increase down to heap-fragmentation because of new object-creation (avoidable
with the cache).
Review, please?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Shims
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Environment: Running with Hadoop 20.205.0.3+ / 1.0.x with security
> turned on.

> The problem manifested from stress-testing HCatalog 0.4.1 (as part of testing
> the Oracle backend).
> The HCatalog server ran out of memory (-Xmx2048m) when pounded by 60-threads,
> in under 24 hours. The heap-dump indicates that hadoop::FileSystem.CACHE had
> 1000000 instances of FileSystem, whose combined retained-mem consumed the
> entire heap.
> It boiled down to hadoop::UserGroupInformation::equals() being implemented
> such that the "Subject" member is compared for equality ("=="), and not
> equivalence (".equals()"). This causes equivalent UGI instances to compare as
> unequal, and causes a new FileSystem instance to be created and cached.
> The UGI.equals() is so implemented, incidentally, as a fix for yet another
> problem (HADOOP-6670); so it is unlikely that that implementation can be
> modified.
> The solution for this is to check for UGI equivalence in HCatalog (i.e. in
> the Hive metastore), using an cache for UGI instances in the shims.
> I have a patch to fix this. I'll upload it shortly. I just ran an overnight
> test to confirm that the memory-leak has been arrested.
