The problem is clearly to do with the executor exceeding YARN allocations, so, this can't be in local mode. He said this was running on YARN at the outset. On Mon, Jan 19, 2015 at 2:27 AM, Raghavendra Pandey raghavendra.pan...@gmail.com wrote: If you are running spark in local mode, executor

If you are running spark in local mode, executor parameters are not used as there is no executor. You should try to set corresponding driver parameter to effect it. On Mon, Jan 19, 2015, 00:21 Sean Owen so...@cloudera.com wrote: OK. Are you sure the executor has the memory you think? -Xmx24g in

OK. Are you sure the executor has the memory you think? -Xmx24g in its command line? It may be that for some reason your job is reserving an exceptionally large amount of non-heap memory. I am not sure that's to be expected with the ALS job though. Even if the settings work, considering using the

I'm not sure how you are setting these values though. Where is spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead=6144 ? Env variables aren't the best way to set configuration either. Again have a look at http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/running-on-yarn.html ... --executor-memory 22g --conf

the values are for sure applied as expected - confirmed using the spark UI environment page... it comes from my defaults configured using 'spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead=8192' (yes, now increased even more) in  /etc/spark/conf/spark-defaults.conf and 'export SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY=24G' in

the question really is whether this is expected that the memory requirements grow rapidly with the rank... as I would expect memory is rather O(1) problem with dependency only on the size of input data. if this is expected is there any rough formula to determine the required memory based on ALS

I would expect the size of the user/item feature RDDs to grow linearly with the rank, of course. They are cached, so that would drive cache memory usage on the cluster. This wouldn't cause executors to fail for running out of memory though. In fact, your error does not show the task failing for

the memory requirements seem to be rapidly growing hen using higher rank... I am unable to get over 20 without running out of memory. is this expected?thanks, Antony.

the actual case looks like this:* spark 1.1.0 on yarn (cdh 5.2.1)* ~8-10 executors, 36GB phys RAM per host* input RDD is roughly 3GB containing ~150-200M items (and this RDD is made persistent using .cache())* using pyspark yarn is configured with the limit yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb of
