Hong Zhiguo created YARN-3897: --------------------------------- Summary: "Too many links" in NM log dir Key: YARN-3897 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3897 Project: Hadoop YARN Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Hong Zhiguo Assignee: Hong Zhiguo Priority: Minor
Users need to left container logs more than one day. On some nodes of our busy cluster, the number of subdirs of {yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs} may reach 32000, which is the defaul limit of ext3 file system. As a result, we got errors when initiating containers: "Failed to create directory {yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs}/logs/application_1435111082717_1341740 - Too many links" log aggregation is not an option for us because of the heavy pressure on namenode. With a cluster of 5K nodes and 20k log files per node, it's not acceptable to aggregate some many files to hdfs. Since ext3 is still widely used, we'd better do something to avoid such error. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
