> Reducers fail while copying Map outputs with following exception
> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$MapOutputCopier.shuffleInMemory(ReduceTask.java:1539) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$MapOutputCopier.getMapOutput(ReduceTask.java:1432) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$MapOutputCopier.copyOutput(ReduceTask.java:1285) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$MapOutputCopier.run(ReduceTask.java:1216) ,Error:
> Reducer's memory usage keeps on increasing and ultimately exceeds -Xmx value
> I even tried with -Xmx6.5g to each reducer but it's still failing
> While looking into the reducer logs, I found that reducers were doing shuffleInMemory every time, rather than doing shuffleOnDisk
