OutOfMemoryError while doing join operation in flink
 
|
Hi,
We are converting one of our pig pipelines to flink using apache beam. The pig pipeline reads two different data sets (R1 & R2) from hdfs, enriches them, joins them and dumps back to hdfs. The data set R1 is skewed. In a sense, it has few keys with lot of records. When we converted the pig pipeline to apache beam and ran it using flink on a production yarn cluster, we got the following error 2018-11-21 16:52:25,307 ERROR org.apache.flink.runtime.operators.BatchTask - Error in task code: GroupReduce (GroupReduce at CoGBK/GBK) (25/100) java.lang.RuntimeException: Emitting the record caused an I/O exception: Failed to serialize element.

org.apache.flink.runtime.operators.shipping.OutputCollector.collect(OutputCollector.java:65) From the exception view in flink job manager dashboard, we could see that this is happening at a join operation. When I say R1 dataset is skewed, there are some keys with number of occurrences as high as 8,000,000 , while most of the keys occur just once. Dataset R2 has records with keys occurring at most once. Also, if we exclude such keys which has high number of occurrences, the pipeline runs absolutely fine which proves it is happening due these few keys only. Hadoop version : 2.7.1 Beam verision : 2.8.0 Flink Runner version : 2.8.0 Let me know what more information should I fetch and post here in order for you to help me resolve this. Thanks, Akshay |

Hi Akshay, You encountered an existing issue for serializing large records to cause OOM. Every subpartition would create a separate serializer before, and each serializer would maintain an internal bytes array for storing intermediate serialization results. The key point is that these overhead internal bytes array are not managed by framework, and their size would exceed with the record size dynamically. If your job has many subpartitions with large records, it may probably cause OOM issue. I already improved this issue to some extent by sharing only one serializer for all subpartitions [1], that means we only have one bytes array overhead at most. This issue is covered in release-1.7. Currently the best option may reduce your record size if possible or you can increase the heap size of task manager container. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9913 Best, Zhijiang

Hi Zhijiang, Thanks for the quick reply. My concern is more towards how flink perform joins of two skewed datasets. Pig and spark seems to support the join of skewed datasets. The record size that you are mentioning about in your reply is after join operation takes place which is definitely going to be huge enough not to fit in jvm task manager task slot in my use case. We want to know if there is a way in flink to handle such skewed keys by distributing their values across different jvms. Let me know if you need more clarity on the issue.

Hi Akshay, Flink currently does not support to automatically distribute hot keys across different JVMs. What you can do is to adapt the parallelism/number of partitions manually if you encounter that one partition contains a lot of hot keys. This might mitigate the problem by partitioning the hot keys into different partitions. Apart from that, the problem seems to be as Zhijiang indicated that your join result is quite large. One record is 1 GB large. Try to decrease it or give more memory to your TMs. Cheers, Till On Thu, Nov 22, 2018 at 1:08 PM Akshay Mendole <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I tried running a simple "group by" on just one dataset where few keys are repeatedly occurring (in order of millions) and did not include any joins. I wanted to see if this issue is specific to join. But as I was expecting, I ran into the same issue. I am giving 7GBs to each task manager with 2 slots per task manager. From what I understood so far, such cases where individual records somewhere in the pipeline become so large that they should be handled in distributed manner instead of handling them by a simple data structure in single JVM. I am guessing there is no way to do this in Flink today. Could you please confirm this? Thanks, Akshay On Thu, Nov 22, 2018 at 9:28 PM Till Rohrmann <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Akshay, Sorrry I have not thought of a proper way to handle single large record in distributed task managers in flink. But I can give some hints for adjusting the related memories for work around OOM issue. Large fraction of memories in task manager are managed by flink for efficiency, and these memories are long live persistent in JVM not recycled by gc. You can check the parameter "taskmanager.memory.fraction" for this and the default value is 0.7 if you have not changed, that means 7GB * 0.7 are used by framework. I am not sure what is the flink version you used. If I rememberd correctly, before release-1.5 the network buffers also uses heap memories by default, so you should also minus this part of memory from total task manager memory. If not considering network buffer used by framework, you only leave 7GB * 0.3 temporaray memories for other parts. The temporaray memories in serializer will exceed twice as current size every time if not covering the record size, that means one serializer may need 2GB overhead memories for your 1GB record. You have 2 slots per task manager for running two tasks, so the total overhead memories may need 4GB almost. So you can decrease the "taskmanager.memory.fraction" in low fraction or increase the total task manager to cover this overhead memories, or set one slot for each task manager. Best, Zhijiang

Hi Akshay,
I don’t know much about the Beam/Flink integration, but I’m curious why you have a single record that would contain all 8M records with the same key. E.g. the code for your simple “group by” test would be interesting. — Ken

Hi Zhijiang, Thanks for the explanation and the workaround suggested. While this can work for the example stated above, we have more complex use cases where we would have to re-tune the above parameters. FYI, we ran into same problems when we did a simple groupBy on the skewed dataset. Thanks, Akshay On Fri, Nov 23, 2018 at 8:29 AM zhijiang <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi, Flink handles large data volumes quite well, large records are a bit more tricky to tune. You could try to reduce the number of parallel tasks per machine (#slots per TM, #TMs per machine) and/or increase the amount of available JVM memory (possible in exchange for managed memory as Zhijiang suggested).
