beeline Reports the "OutOfMemoryError" Error

Symptom

When a large amount of data is queried on the Beeline client, the message "OutOFMemoryError: Java heap space" is displayed. The detailed error information is as follows:

Cause Analysis

• The data volume is excessively large.
• Users use the select * from table_name; statement for query in the whole table. There is a large amount of data in the table.
• The default startup memory of Beeline is 128 MB. The returned result set is too large during query, overloading Beeline.

Solution

1. Before running select count(*) from table_name;, check the amount of data to be queried and determine whether to display data of this magnitude in Beeline.
2. If a certain amount of data needs to be displayed, adjust the JVM parameter of the Hive client. Add export HIVE_OPTS=-Xmx1024M (change the value based on service requirements) to component_env in the /Hive directory of the Hive client. Run the source command to obtain the /bigdata_env directory on the client.
