I think it's a kind of misconfiguration. The Ignite document just mentioned about how to configuration HDFS as a secondary filesystem but nothing about how to restrict the memory usage to avoid OOME. https://apacheignite.readme.io/v1.0/docs/igfs-secondary-file-system
Assume I configured the max JVM heap size to 1GB. 1. What would happen if I write very fast before Ignite write data to HDFS asynchronized? 2. What would happen if I want to write a 2GB file block to Ignite? I expected: 1. Ignite would slow down the write performance to avoid OOME. 2. Ignite would break the 2GB file block into 512MB blocks & write them to HDFS to avoid OOME. Do we have configurations against above behaviors? I dig some items from source code & Ignite Web Console, but seems they are not working fine. <property name="fragmentizerConcurrentFiles" value="3"/> <property name="dualModeMaxPendingPutsSize" value="10"/> <property name="blockSize" value="536870912"/> <property name="streamBufferSize" value="131072"/> <property name="maxSpaceSize" value="6442450944"/> <property name="maximumTaskRangeLength" value="536870912"/> <property name="prefetchBlocks" value="2"/> <property name="sequentialReadsBeforePrefetch" value="5"/> <property name="defaultMode" value="DUAL_ASYNC" /> I also notice that Ignite write through file block size is set to 64MB. I mean I write a file to Ignite with block size to 4GB, but I finally found it on HDFS with block size 64MB. Is there any configuration for it? -----Original Message----- From: dkarachentsev [mailto:dkarachent...@gridgain.com] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 11:21 PM To: user@ignite.apache.org Subject: Re: OOM when using Ignite as HDFS Cache Hi Shuai, Could you please take heap dump on OOME and find what objects consume memory? There would be a lot of byte[] objects, please find the nearest GC root for them.
