Thank you all.
Hi Gopal, My understanding is that the parameter below specifies the max size of 4GB for each contain. That seems to work for me <property> <name>mapreduce.map.memory.mb</name> <value>4096</value> </property> Now I am rather confused about the following parameters (for example mapreduce.reduce versus mapreduce.map) and their correlation to each other <property> <name>mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb</name> <value>8192</value> </property> <property> <name>mapreduce.map.java.opts</name> <value>-Xmx3072m</value> </property> <property> <name>mapreduce.reduce.java.opts</name> <value>-Xmx6144m</value> </property> Can you please verify if these settings are correct and how they relate to each other?

Current usage: 2.0 GB of 2 >GB physical memory used; 6.6 GB of 8 GB virtual memory used. Killing >container. You need to change the yarn.nodemanager.vmem-check-enabled=false on *every* machine on your cluster & restart all NodeManagers. The VMEM check made a lot of sense in the 32 bit days when the CPU forced a maximum of 4Gb of VMEM per process (even with PAE). Similarly it was a way to punish processes which swap out to disk, since the pmem only tracks the actual RSS. In the large RAM 64bit world, vmem is not a significant issue yet - I think the addressing limit is 128 TB per process. > <property> > <name>mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb</name> > <value>4096</value> > </property> ... > <property> > <name>mapreduce.reduce.java.opts</name> > <value>-Xmx6144m</value> > </property> That's the next failure point. 4Gb container with 6Gb limits. To produce an immediate failure when checking configs, add -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+UseNUMA to the java.opts. Cheers, Gopal
