Impala Catalog Server supervisor permissions

[#1]

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.

Would you mind deleting the Impala Catalog and Statestore instance . Add a new instance one more . see if those errors popping up.

i hardly  remeber I had this issue . the above fixed it for me .

I have the same problem. I installed CDH 5.11.1 on a single machine AWS EC2. When starting impala service, Impala Catalog Server and Impala Daemon don't start. I removed the role and added again but the problem still persists.

Impala Daemon stderr :

...

+ exec /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.11.1-1.cdh5.11.1.p0.4/lib/impala/../../bin/impalad --flagfile=/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/154-impala-IMPALAD/impala-conf/impalad_flags
Redirecting stderr to /var/log/impalad/impalad.ERROR

Can't open /run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/154-impala-IMPALAD/proc.json: Permission denied

Impala Catalog Server stderr:

...

Any help will be appreciated.

Deleting the instances and adding them again did not solve the problem. 

The issue still exists.

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:
#   http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/crash.jsp
#

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
