---------------------------------------
Thanks, [~nandakumar131]. I put up a PR as seen above. If a patch is still
required let me know and I will include it as well.
> BytesWritable causes OOME when array size reaches Integer.MAX_VALUE
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-15524
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15524
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: io
> Reporter: Joseph Smith
> Priority: Major
>
> BytesWritable.setSize uses Integer.MAX_VALUE to initialize the internal
> array. On my environment, this causes an OOME
> {code:java}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size
> exceeds VM limit
> {code}
> byte[Integer.MAX_VALUE-2] must be used to prevent this error.
> Tested on OSX and CentOS 7 using Java version 1.8.0_131.
> I noticed that java.util.ArrayList contains the following
> {code:java}
> /**
> * The maximum size of array to allocate.
> * Some VMs reserve some header words in an array.
> * Attempts to allocate larger arrays may result in
> * OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
> */
> private static final int MAX_ARRAY_SIZE = Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8;
> {code}
>
> BytesWritable.setSize should use something similar to prevent an OOME from
> occurring.
