Hi All, When rebuilding index on a table, where abc is an index on a column which has 8.5 lakh count for a single column value, the mapreduce job ran and the reducers timing out, when we monitored the reducers, it is taking 7.3GB RSS and 7.5GB Virt, the reducer memory configured is 7GB. The task is doing lot of GC and CPU was 2000% and stop the world signal would have caused the time out of tasks.
ALTER INDEX abc ON table1 REBUILD; For 8.5 lakh of BigInt Columns ( 8.5 * 8 bytes = 6MB) , why it needs more than 7GB. I suspect there is some memory issue with alter index query. Count abc *854959 110335* 395551 80558 340020 275122 208852 308319 192140 139578 179191 49070 165588 346486 133544 199021 130692 270755 103451 275368 Thanks, Prabhu Joseph
