Tim Armstrong created IMPALA-7115:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Set a default THREAD_RESERVATION_LIMIT value
                 Key: IMPALA-7115
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7115
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Backend
            Reporter: Tim Armstrong
            Assignee: Tim Armstrong


As a follow on to IMPALA-6035, we should set a default value that actually will 
help protect again insanely complex queries.

Motivating discussion is here:

Dan suggested setting a default here. I started doing some experiments to see 
what our current practical limits are.

On stock Ubuntu 16.04 I start getting thread_resource_error at around 8000 
reserved threads. I'm not sure that the config reflects what people would use 
on production systems so continuing to investigate.

We could also consider choosing a default dynamically based on the OS's 
setting, if that's necessary.

I increased some of the configs (I think I was limited by 
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-1000.slice/pids.max == 12288) and now it 
got oom-killed at ~26000 threads.

I think unfortunately there are a lot of different OS knobs that impact this 
and they seem to evolve over time, so it's probably not feasible with a 
reasonable amount of effort to get it working on all common Linux distros.

I was thinking ~5000, since 1000-2000 plan nodes is the most I've seen for a 
query running successfully in production.

Maybe I should do this in a follow-on change, since we probably also want to 
add a test query at or near this limit.
