Impact on the System

Data read and write are affected.

Possible Causes

The memory of the node instance is overused or the heap memory is inappropriately allocated, causing frequent occurrence of the GC process.

Handling Procedure

Check the GC time.

Choose O&M > Alarm > Thresholds, click the name of the desired cluster, choose Impala > Process FGCT > Process FGCT of Catalog (Catalog), and check the threshold (12s by default).
Log in to FusionInsight Manager, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms, and check whether the alarm whose Alarm ID is 29014 exists in the alarm list.
- If yes, go to 3.
- If no, no further action is required.
On FusionInsight Manager, choose Cluster > Impala, click the Instance tab, select the Catalog instance for which the alarm is generated, then click the Chart tab, locate the Process FGCT chart, and check whether the FGC time is greater than the threshold in 1.
- If yes, go to 4.
- If no, go to 5.
Choose O&M > Alarm > Thresholds, click the name of the desired cluster, choose Impala > Process FGCT > Process FGCT of Catalog (Catalog), and change the threshold to a value less than the time obtained in 3. Then, check whether the alarm is cleared.
- If yes, no further action is required.
- If no, go to 5.
