Thanks for confirming Agateaa. Since the Hcat server behaves normally , and you observed the issue in your log just once, it does drop in a concern for me at the moment. Also not sure if it is CMS related/environment related behavior.At some point of time I might try to replicate your system, and update you if I face this too.
However cc-ing to thrift dev mailing list as well, as there are some known libthrift/TBinaryProtocol issue inline with yours - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1643 Thanks Rekha From: agateaaa <agate...@gmail.com<mailto:agate...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: <hcatalog-u...@incubator.apache.org<mailto:hcatalog-u...@incubator.apache.org>> Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:50:00 -0700 To: <hcatalog-u...@incubator.apache.org<mailto:hcatalog-u...@incubator.apache.org>> Subject: Re: HCatalog Thrift Error Hi Rekha Yes the hcatalog server was up and and still running. I can query tables via pig scripts and also run hive queries. As a matter of fact its still running. Before I applied a patch for THRIFT-1468 I had seen my server crash frequently under similar circumstances (OutOfMemory). Since the patch havent seen any crashes (just that error once) I did take java heap dump just after I saw the error and did not see any increase in the heap size. I read in GC tuning docs that if full gc is taking longer (taking 98% of time), JVM may throw that OutOfMemory error - but I am not really sure (I am using CMS so I am not sure if that applies) I can check if I get same error as THRIFT-1205 Isnt HIVE-2715 same as fixing THRIFT-1468 (atleast for in terms of its resolution)?

Can you confirm HCat server was up (inspite of thread dump/GC) and for all practical purposes commands were getting executed in a normal fashion for fairly good time after the GC issues were noticed on log? Unless there is a self-healing effect built-in :-) /timeout after which the error is automatically invalid/system is reset/space is reclaimed, there must be a way it would have directly impact the system, and not just known because one checks the log. I do not have the same patched environment as yours, but would you care to unpatch Thrift-1468 and then check if your system bug behavior is in sync with - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1205 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1468 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2715 Or especially since you did not enter arbitrary data, can you confirm you get usual if you do enter provide arbitrary data?
