SecondaryNamenode process should exit if it encounters Runtime exceptions -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2209 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2209 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Reporter: dhruba borthakur Fix For: 0.16.0 I saw a case when the SecondaryNamenode encountered a OutOfMemory exception because the fsimage and edits file were too big to fit into the Secondary Namenode's memory. However, the process did not exit. Exception in thread "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.<init>(AbstractStringBuilder.java:45) at java.lang.StringBuffer.<init>(StringBuffer.java:91) at org.apache.hadoop.io.UTF8.toString(UTF8.java:129) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.FSImage.loadFSImage(FSImage.java:692) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.SecondaryNameNode.doMerge(SecondaryNameNode.java:304) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.SecondaryNameNode.doCheckpoint(SecondaryNameNode.java:273) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.SecondaryNameNode.run(SecondaryNameNode.java:190) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
