Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-2095: ------------------------------------- My hunch is this that we are ending up with too many files in the ramfs (the map outputs for the failing reduce are small in size). So when merge is initiated on those files, we end up creating too many codecs for decompressing the files, and since they are native, we encounter OOM. So one way to validate this is to decrease the value of mapred.inmem.merge.threshold (defaults to 1000) to something like 200 and then see whether the OOM goes away. The other alternative is to increase the heap size per task. > Reducer failed due to Out ofMemory > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2095 > URL:
