Are you using Hive on top of Hadoop or writing a raw Hadoop job?

This is a the hive list so I'm going to assumed you're running hive...  can you 
send your HiveQL query along?

Subject: Fwd: Hadoop error 2 while joining two large tables

Hello,

I am trying to execute a query that joins two large tables (3 million and 20 
million records). I am getting the Hadoop error code 2 during execution. This 
happens mainly while the reducers are running. Sometimes the reducers complete 
100% and then the error comes. The logs talk about running out of Heap space 
and GC overhead limit exceeding.

I am running a 6 node cluster with child JVM memory of 1GB.

Are there any parameters I could tweak to make them run? Is adding more nodes 
the solution to such problem?

Thanks!
