Hello.
I am running 0.20.1.
There is an options HADOOP_*_OPTS in file hadoop-env.sh.
When i don't put "-Xmx" in them at all, java can't initialize any VM at
all. But this happens only on 64bit VPS with 3.5G RAM. Starting hadoop on
my 32-bit laptop with 2GB ram and same hadoop-env.sh works fine.
I am starting to play with "-Xmx" putting them to HADOOP_*_OPTS in file
hadoop-env.sh.
For example, the JobTracker's log files have records about error=12 (can't
allocate mem for running "chmod"). Then i putting "-Xmx900" in
HADOOP_JOBTRACKER_OPTS and errors=12 dont appear in JobTracker's logfiles
anymore. Maybe a little :) But i don't understand, how -Xmx900 effects on
java processes, because "900 bytes" can't be a big deal) If i try to write
"-Xmx900M" then VM can't initialize again. Then i trying to write
"-Xmx128". Now JobTracker again says "error=12, memory, chmod, etc...". If
i increasing the number of megabytes, error=12 don't disappear but the
moment "cant initialize VM" comes again)
Maybe i am touching wrong option (HADOOP_JOBTRACKER_OPTS)?
Thank you.
