Hi Raihan, You can set it in hive prompt like below, set mapred.jobtracker.maxtasks.per.job=7777777;
To see if it is set just type in hive prompt, set; and you'll see this parameter in the output. Hope this helps, Chalcy From: Raihan Jamal [mailto:jamalrai...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 5:51 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Re: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException Ok. Found the issue I guess. This is the below settings we have in the mapred-site.xml for the site-specific configuration in Hadoop. And that is the reason exception is getting thrown. <property> <!-- 10,000 is 100 tasks per node on a 100-node cluster --> <name>mapred.jobtracker.maxtasks.per.job</name> <value>200000</value> <final>true</final> </property> How can I override these changes manually from the Hive prompt? Any suggestions? Raihan Jamal On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 2:19 PM, Raihan Jamal <jamalrai...@gmail.com<mailto:jamalrai...@gmail.com>> wrote: Can anyone help me out here? What does the below error means?
