I'll give that a shot, thanks.

Hey David,

Primarily you'd need to lower down
"mapred.jobtracker.completeuserjobs.maximum" in your mapred-site.xml
to a value of < 25. I recommend using 5, if you don't need much
retention of job info per user. This will help keep the JT's live
memory usage in check and stop your crashes instead of you having to
raise your heap all the time. There's no "leak", but this config's
default of 100 causes much issues to JT that runs a lot of jobs per
day (from several users).

Try it out and let us know!

What configs are you referring to?

Thanks,

What version of hadoop are you running? Potentially you need configs to
protect the JT that you are missing, those should ensure your hadoop-1.x JT
is very reliable.

Our job tracker has been seizing up with Out of Memory (heap space)
errors for the past 2 nights.  After the first night's crash, I doubled the
heap space (from the default of 1GB) to 2GB before restarting the job.
  After last night's crash I doubled it again to 4GB.

This all seems a bit puzzling to me.  I wouldn't have thought that the
job tracker should require so much memory.  (The NameNode, yes, but not the
job tracker.)

Just wondering if this behavior sounds reasonable, or if perhaps there
might be a bigger problem at play here.  Anyone have any thoughts on the
matter?

Thanks,

DR
