Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-1139: ------------------------------------- Arvind, I thought the whole point of this JIRA was to make HashMapWrapper to support java.util.Map, no? If that would be a separate JIRA, what would this one be for? Sorry for being a bit dense here but if you could clarify that would be great. Thanks, Ashish > GroupByOperator sometimes throws OutOfMemory error when there are too many > distinct keys > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1139 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ning Zhang > Assignee: Arvind Prabhakar > > When a partial aggregation performed on a mapper, a HashMap is created to > keep all distinct keys in main memory. This could leads to OOM exception when > there are too many distinct keys for a particular mapper. A workaround is to > set the map split size smaller so that each mapper takes less number of rows. > A better solution is to use the persistent HashMapWrapper (currently used in > CommonJoinOperator) to spill overflow rows to disk. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
