java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space - Exception while writing data to hive from dataframe using pyspark

avatar

Hi,

I am trying to write df (length of col names are very large ~100 chars) to hive table by using below statement. I am using PySpark.

df.write.mode("overwrite").saveAsTable(TableName)

I am able to write the data to hive table when I pass the config explicitly while submitting spark job as below.

spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode client --conf "spark.executor.memoryOverhead=10g" --executor-memory 4g --num-executors 4 --driver-memory 10g script.py

But, my requirement is to maintain all the configs inside python script like below or updating permanently in config fiels of installation directory. When I set configs inside script I am getting java heap space error. Please find below code snippet and error trace.

spark = SparkSession\
.builder\
.master("yarn")\
.config("spark.submit.deployMode", "client")\
.config("spark.executor.instances", "4")\
.config("spark.executor.memory", "5g")\
.config("spark.driver.memory", "10g")\
.config("spark.executor.memoryOverhead", "10g")\
.appName("Application Name")\
.enableHiveSupport().getOrCreate()

Just wondering if any one face this same issue, If so can you please help how to set configs inside the script or Do I need to update them in config files directly in installation directory.

In Nifi, There is a bootstrap.conf file inside the conf folder. 

You can update the value of the following properties,

# JVM memory settings
java.arg.2=-Xms2g 
java.arg.3=-Xmx8g
