> We have seen a number of memory issues due the {{HashSinkOperator}} use of
> the {{MapJoinMemoryExhaustionHandler}}. This handler is meant to detect
> scenarios where the small table is taking too much space in memory, in which
> case a {{MapJoinMemoryExhaustionError}} is thrown.
> The configs to control this logic are:
> {{hive.mapjoin.localtask.max.memory.usage}} (default 0.90)
> {{hive.mapjoin.followby.gby.localtask.max.memory.usage}} (default 0.55)
> The handler works by using the {{MemoryMXBean}} and uses the following logic
> to estimate how much memory the {{HashMap}} is consuming:
> {{MemoryMXBean#getHeapMemoryUsage().getUsed() /
> MemoryMXBean#getHeapMemoryUsage().getMax()}}
> The issue is that {{MemoryMXBean#getHeapMemoryUsage().getUsed()}} can be
> inaccurate. The value returned by this method returns all reachable and
> unreachable memory on the heap, so there may be a bunch of garbage data, and
> the JVM just hasn't taken the time to reclaim it all. This can lead to
> intermittent failures of this check even though a simple GC would have
> reclaimed enough space for the process to continue working.
> We should re-think the usage of {{MapJoinMemoryExhaustionHandler}} for HoS.
> In Hive-on-MR this probably made sense to use because every Hive task was run
> in a dedicated container, so a Hive Task could assume it created most of the
> data on the heap. However, in Hive-on-Spark there can be multiple Hive Tasks
> running in a single executor, each doing different things.
