I have some logs from a recent occurrence (this seems to happen quite frequently.) However, in this case, I can't find a corresponding message anywhere on the system that refers to a kernel OOM (is there a place to check besides /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg?) One problem we have with sizing for JVM-based tasks is appropriately estimating max thread counts. https://gist.github.com/wsorenson/d2e49b96e84af86c9492 On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 9:12 PM, Benjamin Mahler <[email protected]> wrote: +Ian Sorry for the delay, when your cgroup OOMs a few things will occur: (1) The kernel will notify mesos-slave about the OOM event. (2) The kernel's OOM killer will pick a process in your cgroup to kill. (3) Once notified, mesos-slave will begin destroying the cgroup. (4) Once the executor terminates, any tasks that were non-terminal on the executor will have status updates sent with the OOM message. This does not all happen atomically, so it is possible that the kernel kills your task process and your executor sends a status update before the slave completes the destruction of the cgroup. Userspace OOM handling is supported, and we tried using it in the past, but it is not reliable: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-662 http://lwn.net/Articles/317814/ http://lwn.net/Articles/552789/ http://lwn.net/Articles/590960/ http://lwn.net/Articles/591990/ Since you have the luxury of avoiding the OOM killer (JVM flags w/ padding), I would recommend leveraging that for now. Do you have the logs for your issue? My guess is that it took time for us to destroy the cgroup (possibly due to freezer issues) and so there was plenty of time for your executor to send the status update to the slave.

However, to be fair, your answer to my question about how Mesos is handling OOMs is to suggest we avoid them. I think we're always going to experience some cgroup OOMs and if we'd be better off if we had a consistent way of handling them.

So you can't have the same amount of memory for the task as you pass to java, -Xmx parameter.

This would favor an OutOfMemoryError instead of OOMing the cgroup.

The executor recognized the process was killed and sent a TASK_FAILED. However, it seems far more common to see the executor process itself destroyed and the mesos slave (I'm making some assumptions here about how it all works) sends a TASK_FAILED which includes information about the memory usage. Is there something we can do to make this behavior more consistent? Alternatively, can we provide some functionality to hook into so we don't need to duplicate the work of the mesos slave in order to provide the same information in the TASK_FAILED message? I think users would like to know definitively that the task OOM'd, whereas in the case where the underlying task is killed it may take a lot of digging to find the underlying cause if you aren't looking for it. -Whitney Here are relevant lines from messages in case something else is amiss: Aug 27 23:24:07 ip-10-237-165-119 kernel: [2604343.067321] Task in /mesos/2dda5398-6aa6-49bb-8904-37548eae837e killed as a result of limit of /mesos/2dda5398-6aa6-49bb-8904-37548eae837e Aug 27 23:24:07 ip-10-237-165-119 kernel: [2604343.067334] memory: usage 917420kB, limit 917504kB, failcnt 106672 Aug 27 23:24:07 ip-10-237-165-119 kernel: [2604343.066947] java7 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd0, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0
