Robert Kanter updated OOZIE-2651: --------------------------------- Description: We noticed from some jstacks that Oozie was spending a lot of time looking for XML related jars (we do a lot of XML parsing in Oozie and Hadoop code). For instance, we'd see hundreds of threads blocked here {noformat} "pool-5-thread-57" prio=10 tid=0x00007f9579923000 nid=0x6b7f waiting for monitor entry [0x00007f94225e3000] java.lang.Thread.State: BLOCKED (on object monitor) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1559) - waiting to lock <0x0000000500026148> (a org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1526) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.getProviderClass(FactoryFinder.java:117) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.newInstance(FactoryFinder.java:178) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.findJarServiceProvider(FactoryFinder.java:333) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.find(FactoryFinder.java:255) at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(DocumentBuilderFactory.java:121) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.loadResource(Configuration.java:2526) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.loadResources(Configuration.java:2503) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getProps(Configuration.java:2409) - locked <0x00000007eac5ea28> (a org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.set(Configuration.java:1144) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.set(Configuration.java:1116) at org.apache.oozie.util.XConfiguration.copy(XConfiguration.java:206) ... {noformat} There's nothing we can do about the lock at the {{WebappClassLoader}}, but by setting the {{javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory}} system property to {{org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl}}, we can speed this up a lot by getting rid of all of the searching that it's doing to find the implementation. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilderFactory.html#newInstance() and https://www.databasesandlife.com/java-always-explicitly-specify-which-xml-parser-to-use/ In our testing, we had a metric around creating a new {{JobClient}}, which also calls {{DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance}}, and it dropped from ~3min max to ~2sec max (not an exact test of the savings here). And we also didn't see so much blocking on this in the jstacks anymore. was: We noticed from some jstacks that Oozie was spending a lot of time looking for XML related jars (we do a lot of XML parsing in Oozie and Hadoop code).
