Too easy to OOME a RS --------------------- Key: HBASE-2506 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2506 Project: Hadoop HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans Fix For: 0.20.5, 0.21.0
Testing a cluster with 1GB heap, I found that we are letting the region servers kill themselves too easily when scanning using pre-fetching. To reproduce, get 10-20M rows using PE and run a count in the shell using CACHE => 30000 or any other very high number. For good measure, here's the stack trace: {code} 2010-04-30 13:20:23,241 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: OutOfMemoryError, aborting. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:2786) at java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.write(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:94) at java.io.DataOutputStream.write(DataOutputStream.java:90) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Result.writeArray(Result.java:478) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.HbaseObjectWritable.writeObject(HbaseObjectWritable.java:312) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.HbaseObjectWritable.write(HbaseObjectWritable.java:229) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HBaseServer$Handler.run(HBaseServer.java:941) 2010-04-30 13:20:23,241 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: Dump of metrics: request=0.0, regions=29, stores=29, storefiles=44, storefileIndexSize=6, memstoreSize=255, compactionQueueSize=0, usedHeap=926, maxHeap=987, blockCacheSize=1700064, blockCacheFree=205393696, blockCacheCount=0, blockCacheHitRatio=0 {code} I guess the same could happen with largish write buffers. We need something better than OOME. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
