Thanks Christophe :) Hadoop is running fine now :)

does anyone know how to reduce this heap requirement....is such a large heap size being imposed by Hadoop itself? Do I need to set the jvm by using -Xms
settings....anyone knows how to do that?


By default the hadoop daemons (JT/TT & NN/DN) use a heap-size of 1G.

You can tweak them with HADOOP_HEAPSIZE in your conf/hadoop-env.sh.

(Note: you can also set them per daemon using HADOOP_<daemon>_OPTS, see conf/hadoop-env.sh for details)

Just tried with 512 MB and 1 GB....and guess what .... it started
(finally!!) working at a GB.

Is there a way to lower this requirement?.....I'll also just try to hone
in into the min. amount of RAM needed.

I really can't afford using a GB of RAM for my VM....I will soon run out
of juice that way :(

Well my VM is allocated 256 MB.....I'll just increase it and report back

Plus I have just tried HelloWorld programs....and since they hardly have
any memory usage, they work.

Hi Ahmad,

As the error message suggests it, your issue is likely to be related
to the
amount of memory available:
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
   Could not reserve enough space for object heap

How much memory did you allocate to your VM? Can you run any other
Java
applications in your JVM?

Hi there,

Has anybody tried running Hadoop on VMware (6.0). I have installed
open
SUSE
10.2 as a guest OS....and I have been trying to get Hadoop started,
but
whatever I do with bin/hadoop, I keep getting this error:
*Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.*

Any ideas? Is it a problem with VMware? Or maybe my java environment
setup?
Or I'm simply doing something wrong in setting up Hadoop?

Thanks again!
