------------------------------------
Summary: buffer_pool_limit error message is confusing
Key: IMPALA-9754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9754
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Backend
Reporter: Sahil Takiar
The error message for an invalid value of {{buffer_pool_limit}} is confusing.
For example:
{code:java}
I0515 18:30:20.143811 1 exec-env.cc:480] System memory available: 30.63 GB
(from physical mem)
I0515 18:30:20.144037 1 exec-env.cc:487] CGroup memory limit for this
process reduces physical memory available to: 9.31 GB
I0515 18:30:20.144050 1 exec-env.cc:503] Using process memory limit: 7.45
GB (--mem_limit=80% of 9.31 GB)
I0515 18:30:20.150154 1 status.cc:129] Invalid --buffer_pool_limit value,
must be a percentage or positive bytes value or percentage: 85%
@ 0xc33b79

@ 0xbf3e86
F0515 18:30:20.150177 1 impalad-main.cc:73] Invalid --buffer_pool_limit
value, must be a percentage or positive bytes value or percentage: 85%
. Impalad exiting. {code}
1: "must be a percentage or positive bytes value or percentage" needs to be
revised to something like "must be a positive bytes value or percentage"
2: The error message makes it sound like the value of 85% is invalid, when in
reality, it is a valid value - Impala does some internal calculations of what
the actual {{buffer_pool_limit}} should be internally (see ExecEnv::Init) -
these calculations first compute the mem limit for the process
(ChooseProcessMemLimit) based on the physical machines memory + cgroup
settings, and then if mem_limit_includes_jvm == true it subtracts the value of
Xmx from the amount of available memory - we don't have logic to capture if the
results of that subtraction becomes a negative number, which causes the
buffer_pool_limit parsing to fail in a weird way. We should add a check to see
if {{admit_mem_limit_ \-= JvmMemoryMetric::HEAP_MAX_USAGE->GetValue()}} is
negative, and then exit with an informative status message
