Thanks, I just tried another dataset, which could be successfully handled by my cluster within memory. However, exceptions still occurred with the -Dgiraph.useOutOfCoreGraph=true option, but it works fine with only -Dgiraph.useOutOfCoreMessages=true option, so do you still think it is the dir permission issue?
By the way, the dir path you mentioned should be the dir to store the outofcore partion and messages in local file system, right? But how do I know where it is? It should be determined by Giraph instead of the applications, right? Thanks for your time and patience again, Jian On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 5:32 PM, Jyotirmoy Sundi <sundi...@gmail.com> wrote: > apart from these you might also want to check permissions of the dir path > where offloading of vertices and messages happen. > Ideally giraph is not meant for out-of-core if you graph is much bigger > then the cluster can handle in memory, using giraph defeats the purpose in > this case. > > > > On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 8:13 AM, Jianqiang Ou <oujianqiang...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Thanks very much, so are you saying if I use Dgiraph.maxPartitionsInMemory >> and Dgiraph.maxMessagesInMemory to make them both smaller number, then >> it might work? >> >> Thanks again, >> Jian >> >> >> On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 12:56 AM, Jyotirmoy Sundi <sundi...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> You need to tune it per your cluster.
