out of Memory Error in Hadoop


java hadoop

For anyone using RPM or DEB packages, the documentation and common advice is misleading. These packages install hadoop configuration files into /etc/hadoop. These will take priority over other settings.

The /etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh sets the maximum java heap memory for Hadoop, by Default it is:

   export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-Xmx128m $HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS"

This Xmx setting is too low, simply change it to this and rerun

   export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-Xmx2048m $HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS"

java hadoop

You can assign more memory by editing the conf/mapred-site.xml file and adding the property:

  <property>    <name>mapred.child.java.opts</name>    <value>-Xmx1024m</value>  </property>

This will start the hadoop JVMs with more heap space.

java hadoop

Another possibility is editing hadoop-env.sh, which contains export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-Xmx128m $HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS".Changing 128m to 1024m helped in my case (Hadoop 1.0.0.1 on Debian).
