The underlying buffer > keeps doubling in size when it reaches capacity. In some of the Pig scripts > which serialize big bags, we end up with OOM in Tez as there is no space to > double the array size. Mapreduce mode runs fine in those cases with 1G heap. > The scenarios are > - When combiner runs in reducer and some of the fields after combining > are still big bags (For eg: distinct). Currently with mapreduce combiner does > not run in reducer - MAPREDUCE-5221. Since input sort buffers hold good > amount of memory at that time it can easily go OOM. > - While serializing output with bags when there are multiple inputs and > outputs and the sort buffers for those take up space. > It is a pain especially after buffer size hits 128MB. Doubling at 128MB will > require 128MB (existing array) +256MB (new array). Any doubling after that > requires even more space. But most of the time the data is probably not going > to fill up that 256MB leading to wastage. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
