[jira] Commented: (WHIRR-148) Hadoop jobs fail on large EC2 instances

Posted by "Tom White (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Tom White commented on WHIRR-148:
---------------------------------

This seems not to be a problem with the JVM (the failure occurs with 1.6.0_17 and 1.6.0_21), but the AMI. The failure was seen with amzn-ami-0.9.9-beta.x86_64-S3 (ami-827185eb) which was automatically picked by Whirr/jclouds, but when setting {{whirr.image-id=us-east-1/ami-da0cf8b3}} (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid) the job succeeds.

I think we should test configurations using WHIRR-92 and document them using WHIRR-145.

Lars George commented on WHIRR-148:
-----------------------------------

This happened again in a different context and it seems that may be caused by RHEL6. It has glibc 2.11 which includes a new allocator which uses per-thread heaps for fast allocation. By default it will map 64M chunks and up to 8*num_cores on a 64-bit system, so you can expect 4G of virtual memory usage in any highly threaded app. You can constrain the number of allocation arenas by setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=4 for example. Or even lower. We may simply add this to the "init" scripts and try?
