Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4475: --------------------------------------- bq. Either the default heap size should increase or the # of threads should go down. Either one of them should be okay. Please do that in a separate jira. Closing this jira as Invalid. > OutOfMemory by BPServiceActor.offerService() takes down DataNode > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4475 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4475 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.0.3-alpha > Reporter: Plamen Jeliazkov > Assignee: Plamen Jeliazkov > Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.0.3-alpha > > > In DataNode, there are catchs around BPServiceActor.offerService() call but > no catch for OutOfMemory as there is for the DataXeiver as introduced in > 0.22.0. > The issue can be replicated like this: > 1) Create a cluster of X DataNodes and 1 NameNode and low memory settings > (-Xmx128M or something similar). > 2) Flood HDFS with small file creations (any should work actually). > 3) DataNodes will hit OoM, stop blockpool service, and shutdown. > The resolution is to catch the OoMException and handle it properly when > calling BPServiceActor.offerService() in DataNode.java; like as done in > 0.22.0 of Hadoop. DataNodes should not shutdown or crash but remain in a sort > of frozen state until memory issues are resolved by GC. > LOG ERROR: > 2013-02-04 11:46:01,854 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: > Unexpected exception in block pool Block pool > BP-1105714849-10.10.10.110-1360005776467 (storage id > DS-1952316202-10.10.10.112-50010-1360005820993) service to > vmhost2-vm0/10.10.10.110:8020 > java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded > 2013-02-04 11:46:01,854 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: > Ending block pool service for: Block pool > BP-1105714849-10.10.10.110-1360005776467 (storage id > DS-1952316202-10.10.10.112-50010-1360005820993) service to > vmhost2-vm0/10.10.10.110:8020 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
