Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2988: ---------------------------------------- I agree with [~rohini] increasing heap size is not the ideal solution. We should switch to better implementation than XMLEncoder. I don't know much about XStream. Its license is BSD, so its compatible. Does it has better memory footprint or are there other libs which we should look at too? > Use of XMLEncoder to serialize MapredWork causes OOM in hive cli > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2988 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CLI > Reporter: Rohini Palaniswamy > Labels: Performance > > When running queries on tables with 6000 partitions, hive cli if configured > with 128M runs into OOM. Heapdump showed 37MB occupied by one XMLEncoder > object while the MapredWork was 500K which is highly inefficient. We should > switch to using something more efficient like XStream. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
