Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

This particular case is related to "Reducer tasks of hive job fails with Out Of Memory error during shuffle fetcher stage"

Fix:

  • Increase hive.tez.container.size if it is set too low.
  • tez.runtime.shuffle.memory.limit.percent from default value 0.7

Changed to 0.4

  • Decrease tez.runtime.shuffle.fetch.buffer.percent from default 0.25 to .15 if needed. (Different values were tested between the range of 0.25 to 0.10)

Also, If we are using MR then we might need to revisit the mapper/reducer container's heap size accordingly.
