Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-210: ------------------------------------- Alan, yes, changing Server.java to use nio's Selector is what's under discussion, using a single thread on the server to buffer requests until they are complete, then dispatching each request to a worker thread. Client.java must also be modified to buffer request objects so that they can be written preceded by their size, permitting Server.java to determine when each request has fully arrived. > Namenode not able to accept connections > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-210 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-210 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Environment: linux > Reporter: Mahadev konar > Assignee: Mahadev konar > > I am running owen's random writer on a 627 node cluster (writing 10GB/node). > After running for a while (map 12% reduce 1%) I get the following error on > the Namenode: > Exception in thread "Server listener on port 60000" > java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread > at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method) > at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:574) > at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Listener.run(Server.java:105) > After this, the namenode does not seem to be accepting connections from any > of the clients. All the DFSClient calls get timeout.

I have profiled the NameNode and it > seems to be using around a maixmum heap size of 57MB (which is not much). So, > heap size does not seem to be a problem. It might be happening due to lack of > Stack space?
