Hello sbpothineni,

Based on the limited log snippet, it appears you may need to increase the heap size for your NodeManager.

You can increase the NodeManager's heap size by doing the following:

1. In CM UI, go to YARN -> Configuration -> NodeManager -> Java Heap Size of NodeManager in Bytes.

2. Change the value.

3. Save changes and redeploy configuration.
