Memory corruption error while starting any service from ambari UI

[#1]

Hi,

When I am starting any service from ambari UI, I am getting below error .. Any pointers on how to fix it? My entire cluster is down as I am not able to start any service because of this error

Ambari version is 2.1.2.1 and hdp version is 2.3

I would check ulimit/top for number of open file handles (any leak over there) or memory consumption by any other process on the machine.

Hi,

Soft limit is set to 1024 and hard limit is set to 4096, (I know its not HDP recommended)

@abhinav s can you paste errors from ambari logs?

Hi,

A quick upgrade to glibc has fixed the issue 🙂

Hi, I agree with the solution, however, use tail -f /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log to watch the logs while you try to start the service from the UI. This will give you real-time feedback.
