I have a table with 3 levels of partitioning and about 10,000 files (one file at every 'leaf'). I am using EMR and the table is stored in S3. For some reason, Hive can't even start running a simple query that creates a local copy of a subset of the big table.
Does this look like an EMR-specific issue or is there something I could do? I am thinking about copying al of the data into HDFS first. Number of reduce tasks is set to 0 since there's no reduce operator Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at java.util.LinkedHashMap.newKeyIterator(LinkedHashMap.java:396) at java.util.HashMap$KeySet.iterator(HashMap.java:874) at java.beans.java_util_Map_PersistenceDelegate.initialize(MetaData.java:516) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.initialize(PersistenceDelegate.java:190) at java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate.initialize(DefaultPersistenceDelegate.java:393) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.initialize(PersistenceDelegate.java:190) at java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate.initialize(DefaultPersistenceDelegate.java:393) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.writeObject(PersistenceDelegate.java:100) at java.beans.Encoder.writeObject(Encoder.java:54) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeObject(XMLEncoder.java:257) at java.beans.Encoder.writeExpression(Encoder.java:279) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeExpression(XMLEncoder.java:372) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.writeObject(PersistenceDelegate.java:97) at java.beans.Encoder.writeObject(Encoder.java:54) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeObject(XMLEncoder.java:257) at java.beans.Encoder.writeExpression(Encoder.java:279) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeExpression(XMLEncoder.java:372) at java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate.doProperty(DefaultPersistenceDelegate.java:212) at java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate.initBean(DefaultPersistenceDelegate.java:247) at java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate.initialize(DefaultPersistenceDelegate.java:395) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.writeObject(PersistenceDelegate.java:100) at java.beans.Encoder.writeObject(Encoder.java:54) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeObject(XMLEncoder.java:257) at java.beans.Encoder.writeExpression(Encoder.java:279) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeExpression(XMLEncoder.java:372) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.writeObject(PersistenceDelegate.java:97) at java.beans.Encoder.writeObject(Encoder.java:54) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeObject(XMLEncoder.java:257) at java.beans.Encoder.writeExpression(Encoder.java:279) at java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeExpression(XMLEncoder.java:372) at java.beans.java_util_Map_PersistenceDelegate.initialize(MetaData.java:523) at java.beans.PersistenceDelegate.initialize(PersistenceDelegate.java:190)
