Impala Catalog Server supervisor permissions

avatar
Contributor

I have a problem on a CDH 5.8.0 parcels testsystem starting the Impala Catalog Server. 

The error message is the following: 

 

Can't open /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/148-impala-CATALOGSERVER/supervisor.conf: Permission denied.

The permissions for this file are: 

 

-rw------- 1 root   root    2970 Jun 27 23:01 supervisor.conf

All other files and directories in the /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/148-impala-CATLOGSERVER folder having owner impala and group  impala. 

When I change the permissions it will be overwritten on the next start. 

What is wrong here? 

And what needs to be changed. I recently installed a different service and changed the visudo file, but I have not changed the Impala configuration.

 

Thanks for the advice.

since i see you logs says that you are  downlading the parcels from /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.11.1-1.cdh5.11.1.p0.4/lib/impala/../..

 

it says ( in your log file ) go to

 

 /var/log/impalad/impalad.ERROR

it may direct to mini-dump logs (/var/log/impala-minidumps/impalad / )

 

if you open the file and if you come across the JRE runtime error plus if it complains about the core dump .

 

 

 

Then it is the bug that is related to Linux kernel , impala's JRE error .

the fix is to increase the Stack thread  . do the below steps

 

the error should look like this

 

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGBUS (0x7) at pc=0x00007fa6b9f80c18, pid=3819, tid=0x00007fa6cfdb4900
#
# JRE version:  (8.0_131-b11) (build )
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.131-b11 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# j  java.lang.Object.<clinit>()V+0
#
# Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

#

The fix is

In  Cloduera manager UI -> Cluster -> Go to Impala - Configuration tab .

 

Search 

 

Step 1 :

Impala Daemon properties:

Impala Daemon Environment Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve)

apply the  JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xss2m

 

Steo 2 :

 

Apply the same for Impala Catalog -

"Impala Catalog Server Environment Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve)"

before you restart the catalog daemon.

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xss2m

 

Reason - The crash was caused by a change to the linux kernel that modified the memory layout around JAVAthread stacks.

 

JIRA -   - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-363

 

Please let me know if that works
