Sean Owen commented on SPARK-12650: ----------------------------------- Hm, the default heap size in the JVM isn't 8GB is it? I just peeked at my Java 8 and it's about 512MB. Is it that it's picking up some other setting causing it to set a large "-Xmx"? but even that doesn't make the JVM allocate memory. Is "-Xms" set by something? I know we discussed removing "-Xms" everywhere for similar reasons. > No means to specify Xmx settings for SparkSubmit in yarn-cluster mode > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-12650 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12650 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Spark Submit > Affects Versions: 1.5.2 > Environment: Hadoop 2.6.0 > Reporter: John Vines > > Background- > I have an app master designed to do some work and then launch a spark job. > Issue- > If I use yarn-cluster, then the SparkSubmit does not Xmx itself at all, > leading to the jvm taking a default heap which is relatively large. This > causes a large amount of vmem to be taken, so that it is killed by yarn. This > can be worked around by disabling Yarn's vmem check, but that is a hack. > If I run it in yarn-client mode, it's fine as long as my container has enough > space for the driver, which is manageable. But I feel that the utter lack of > Xmx settings for what I believe is a very small jvm is a problem. > I believe this was introduced with the fix for SPARK-3884 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
