2018-11-10 Hadoop – GC overhead
转自: https://chawlasumit.wordpress.com/2016/03/14/hadoop-gc-overhead-limit-exceeded-error/
In our Hadoop setup, we ended up having more than 1 million files in a single folder. The folder had so many files, that any hdfs dfs command like -ls, -copyToLocal on the files was giving following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

After doing some research, we added following environment variable to update Hadoop runtime options.
export HADOOP_OPTS="-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit"
Adding this option fixed the GC error, but started throwing the following error, citing the lack of Java Heap space.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

We modified the above export, and tried following instead. Note that instead of HADOOP_OPTS, we needed to set HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS fix this error. This was needed because all the hadoop commands run as a client. HADOOP_OPTS needs to be setup for modifying actual Hadoop run time, and HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS is needed to be setup for modifying run time for Hadoop command line client.
export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -Xmx4096m"
