I've repeated the experiment under more controlled circumstances: by creating a new file system formatted by 0.16.4 and then populating it. In this scenario we see the same problem: during the reduce phase the DataNode instances consume more and more memory until the system fails. Further, our server monitoring shows us that at the time of failure, each node in the system has about 7,000 open socket connections. We're now upgrading to 0.17.0 to repeat the same experiment, but I am pessimistic about getting any resolution. Does anybody have any insight into what might be going on? It seems really strange to have code that works in an old version but won't run in the more modern releases. Thanks, C G

Previously we were on 0.15.0 and the same application ran fine with the same dataset. A lengthy description follows, including log file output, etc. The failure mode smells like a bug in 0.16.4, but I'm not 100% positive about that. My questions are: 1. Any known issues upgrading from 0.15.0 to 0.16.4? Our code runs just fine over small datasets, but dies on these larger ones. We followed the upgrade instructions in the wiki, etc. 2. Would an upgrade to 0.17.0 help resolve these problems? 3. Would a re-format/re-load of HDFS help correct these issues? This is the thing I hope for the least in that I have 3T of data on-board HDFS and it will take days to dump it all and reload it. 4. Any other advice or help? I've been looking at this for the past few days and have been unable to make progress of solving it. I would hate to have to fall back to 0.15.0 (see above regarding 3T data reloads, not to mention being stuck on an old release). Any help, thoughts, comments, etc., would be very helpful. Thanks! Description: Following an upgrade from 0.15.0 to 0.16.4 (and after recompiling our apps, etc.), a job that used to run correctly on our grid now fails. The failure occurs after the map phase is complete, and about 2/3rds of the way through the reduce job. The error which gets kicked out from the application perspective is: 08/05/27 11:30:08 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 100% reduce 89% 08/05/27 11:30:41 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 100% reduce 90% 08/05/27 11:32:45 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 100% reduce 86% 08/05/27 11:32:45 INFO mapred.JobClient: Task Id : task_200805271056_0001_r_000007_0, Status : FAILED java.io.IOException: Could not get block locations.

The cause for at least some of the DataNode failures is a JVM internal error that gets raised due to a complete out-of-memory scenario (on a 4G, 4-way machine). Watching the DataNodes run, I can see them consuming more and more memory. For those failures for which there is a JVM traceback, I see (in part): # # java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 16 bytes for CHeapObj-new.
