hiveserver 占用内存过大的问题

今天为了求解hiveserver占用内存过大的问题，特地加了hive在apache的邮件列表，讨论半天。特别说的是 里面的人确实很热情啊 ，外国人做事确实很认真，讨论帖发的时候都狠详细。

 

粘出一些记录：

 

 

Did you update your JDK in last time? A java-dev told me that could be
a  issue in JDK _26
(https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2309872), some
devs report a memory decrease when they use GC - flags. I'm quite not
sure, sounds for me to far away.

The stacks have a lot waitings, but I see nothing special.

最上面   Alex发现一篇文章

https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2309872说是 jdk_1.0.26存在泄露的风险，我们正在使用也正是同一个版本，看这个url里文章说的也是谁也不能确认，而oracle方自然说不由其负责。

I tried with java6u29 and java7 and they work great. Actually on the production server we are running for almost 4 days with java7 and it's stable, no crash, no slowdown, no restart in this period, and with less maximum memory. If it's going to last for a week then I trust it will go on fine.

最后是有人用java6u29 和java7 运行 稳定。特别是java7.明天尝试在hiveserver服务器换用java7试试。

  append。。。。

 

今天改用jdk 7测试 情况基本一致，看来问题并不是 jvm问题。

 

使用jmap -heap 发现  hiveserver 新生代 并没有去按照ratio设置的 那样，最大容量还是默认的800m，这个对数据分析来说太小了，使用xmn配置新生代，并配置最大新生代大小，而且将gc机制改为cms，目前内存占用稳定在 2.3g左右。

最后的参数 ：

 

export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS  -Xms5000m -Xmn4000m -XX:MaxNewSize=4000m -Xss128k  -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=80 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=40 -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSw
eepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -XX:+UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=0 -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=8 -XX:P
ermSize=800M -XX:MaxPermSize=800M -XX:GCTimeRatio=19 -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps"
