Hi, I have a setup() method in the Mapper.java class where I am reading in a 1.6 GB HashMap that was serialized into a file and stored in HDFS. When I am running the job, it gets stuck at the readobject() method that reads this serialized file into a HashMap.
I increased the heap size both by doing export HADOOP_HEAPSIZE=4096 and also writing *conf.set("mapred.map.child.opts", "-Xmx4096M);* and *conf.set("mapred.reduce.child.opts", "-Xmx4096M);* * * It still doesn't help. Should we do something else? If I enter the HADOOP_HEAPSIZE beyond this, it doesn't run the hadoop command and fails to instantiate a JVM. Any comments would be appreciated! Thank you!
