Laurel Hale created HIVE-16735: ---------------------------------- Summary: Please add that hive.mapred.local.mem must be set in MBs in the documentation Key: HIVE-16735 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16735 Project: Hive Issue Type: Task Components: Documentation Reporter: Laurel Hale Assignee: Lefty Leverenz Priority: Minor
Hi Lefty, One of my developers noticed this and we do not document the local mode. Thought I'd let you know. Here's a good place where you could put this: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-QueryandDDLExecution There's already a small subsection where hive.mapred.local.mem is documented, but there isn't any information about how to set the value. My developer discovered that when you set it in bytes, it throws the following error: 2017-03-12 09:24:31,835 ERROR [HiveServer2-Background-Pool: Thread-22163()]: mr.MapredLocalTask (MapredLocalTask.java:executeInChildVM(341)) - Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "4294967296" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "4294967296" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:495) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:527) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getInt(Configuration.java:1259) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.conf.HiveConf.getIntVar(HiveConf.java:2415) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.conf.HiveConf.getIntVar(HiveConf.java:2424) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.MapredLocalTask.executeInChildVM(MapredLocalTask.java:228) Instead, this value should be set in MBs for success. Thanks, Laurel -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
