how to change the NodeManager Java heap size

[#1]

how to change the NodeManager Java heap size value , this value cant change from the ambari GUI ( value is static ), how to enable in order to change it

I need to change this parameter according to the solution - https://community.hortonworks.com/content/supportkb/49606/gc-overhead-limit-exceeded.html

we have a problem to start the nodemanager on the worker machine

example from the log on worker machine:

FATAL nodemanager.NodeManager (NodeManager.java:initAndStartNodeManager(549)) - Error starting NodeManager java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at org.fusesource.leveldbjni.internal.NativeIterator.key(NativeIterator.java:171) at org.fusesource.leveldbjni.internal.JniDBIterator.peekNext(JniDBIterator.java:87) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.utils.LeveldbIterator.peekNext(LeveldbIterator.java:137) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.recovery.NMLeveldbStateStoreService.loadContainersState(NMLeveldbStateStoreService.java:169) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.ContainerManagerImpl.recover(ContainerManagerImpl.java:262) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.ContainerManagerImpl.serviceInit(ContainerManagerImpl.java:246) at org.apache.hadoop.service.AbstractService.init(AbstractService.java:163) at org.apache.hadoop.service.CompositeService.serviceInit(CompositeService.java:107) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.NodeManager.serviceInit(NodeManager.java:291) at org.apache.hadoop.service.AbstractService.init(AbstractService.java:163) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.NodeManager.initAndStartNodeManager(NodeManager.java:546) at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.NodeManager.main(NodeManager.java:594) 2017-09-15 11:19:27,456 INFO util.ExitUtil (ExitUtil.java:halt(147)) - Halt with status -1 Message: HaltException

The NodeManager Heap mentioned in your "capture.jpg" screen shot is Disabled because you are Searching it in the "Filter" remove the search text and select the current "Config" version, Then you will see it enabled And Do not forget to Login As "Admin User"

.

Or else try this:

Ambari UI --> YARN --> Configs --> Advanced 

You will see "NodeManager" bar there expand it and then edit the

"NodeManager Java heap size"

Save the changes and then restart affected components.

If the button is still disabled to change the NodeManger Heap then please make sure that you have logged in with correct user who has access to change to configuration . (not as Read Only User).

Please see : https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.5.1.0/bk_ambari-administration/content/cluster_ro...
