Catalin Alexandru Zamfir commented on HADOOP-8396: -------------------------------------------------- It ran for a while and died at 3881 threads. There's definitively a problem here in how Hadoop handles native threads. > DataStreamer, OutOfMemoryError, unable to create new native thread > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-8396 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8396 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io > Affects Versions: 1.0.2 > Environment: Ubuntu 64bit, 4GB of RAM, Core Duo processors, commodity > hardware. > Reporter: Catalin Alexandru Zamfir > Priority: Blocker > Labels: DataStreamer, I/O, OutOfMemoryError, ResponseProcessor, > hadoop,, leak, memory, rpc, > > We're trying to write about 1 few billion records, via "Avro".

We were opening 5 - 10 buffers to different > paths when writing and closing them. We've tested that those buffers do not > overrun. And they don't. But watching the application continue writing, we > saw that over a period of 5 to 6 hours, it kept constantly increasing in > memory, not by the average of 8MB buffer that we've set, but my small values. > I'm reading the code and it seems there's a memory leak somewhere, in the way > Hadoop does buffer allocation. While we specifically close the buffers if the > count of open buffers is above 5 (meaning 5 * 8MB per buffer) this bug still > happens. > Can it be fixed? As you can see from the strack trace, it writes a "fan-out" > path of the type you see in the strack trace. We've let it execute till about > 500M records, when this error blew. It's a blocker as these writers need to > be production-grade ready, while they're not due to this native buffer > allocation that when executing large amounts of writes, seems to generate a > memory leak. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
