Container is running beyond virtual memory limits - r

Question

When I do rhadoop example, below errors are occurred.
is running beyond virtual memory limits. Current usage: 121.2 MB of 1 GB physical memory used; 2.1 GB of 2.1 GB virtual memory used. Killing container.
Container killed on request. Exit code is 143
Container exited with a non-zero exit code 143
hadoop streaming failed with error code 1
How can I fix it?
My hadoop settings.

Answer 1

I got almost same error while running a Spark application on YARN cluster.
"Container [pid=791,containerID=container_1499942756442_0001_02_000001] is running beyond virtual memory limits. Current usage: 135.4 MB of 1 GB physical memory used; 2.1 GB of 2.1 GB virtual memory used. Killing container."
I resolved it by disabling virtual memory check in the file yarn-site.xml
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.vmem-check-enabled</name>
<value>false</value>
</property>
This one setting was enough in my case.

Answer 2

I referred below site.
http://crazyadmins.com/tag/tuning-yarn-to-get-maximum-performance/
Then I got to know that I can change memory allocation of mapreduce.
I changed mapred-site.xml
<configuration>
<property>
<name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
<value>yarn</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapreduce.map.memory.mb</name>
<value>2000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb</name>
<value>2000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapreduce.map.java.opts</name>
<value>1600</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapreduce.reduce.java.opts</name>
<value>1600</value>
</property>
</configuration>
