Hello, We are running Hive 0.12 and using the hive.auto.convert.join feature when : hive.auto.convert.join.noconditionaltask.size = 50000000 hive.mapjoin.followby.gby.localtask.max.memory.usage = 0.7
The query is a mapjoin with a group by afterwards like so : select id,x,max(y) from ( select t1.id,t1.x,t2.y from tbl1 join tbl2 on (t1.id=t2.id) ) z group by id,x; While executing a join to a table that has ~3m rows we are failing on : org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mapjoin.MapJoinMemoryExhaustionException: 2014-06-10 04:42:21 Processing rows: 2500000 Hashtable size: 2499999 Memory usage:704765184 percentage: 0.701 at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mapjoin.MapJoinMemoryExhaustionHandler.checkMemoryStatus(MapJoinMemoryExhaustionHandler.java:91) This is understood as we pass the 70% limit. But, the table only takes 35mb in the HDFS and somehow reading it to the hash table increases it size drastically when in the end it fails after reaching ~700mb. So this is the first question - why does it take so much space in memory? Later, i tried to increase hive.mapjoin.followby.gby.localtask.max.memory.usage to allow the mapjoin to finish. By doing so i got another problem. The table is in fact loaded to memory as seen here : Processing rows: 2900000 Hashtable size: 2899999 Memory usage: 818590784 percentage: 0.815 INFO exec.HashTableSinkOperator: 2014-05-28 12:16:42 Processing rows: 2900000 Hashtable size: 2899999 Memory usage: 818590784 percentage: 0.815 INFO exec.TableScanOperator: 0 finished. closing...

The file the local stage uploaded "MapJoin-mapfile691--.hashtable" is only 87MB The zip in which its located "Stage-2.tar.gz" is only 23MB What's going on here? Why can the join continue successfully? Last, i tried removing the group by from the query. After doing so, the query ends with no problem (setting hive.mapjoin.followby.gby.localtask.max.memory.usage more than 0.82) No hangs or anything. How can the group by effect the "Load back 1 hashtable file from tmp" step in any way? Thanks in advance for any answers/comments. ----------------------------------------------- [cid:image001.jpg@01CE92B5.CB034C90] Dima Machlin, Big Data Architect 15 Abba Eban Blvd. PO Box 4125, Herzliya 46140 IL P: +972-9-9518147 |M: +972-54-5671337|F: +972-9-9584736 Pursway.com<http://www.pursway.com/>
