hadoop配置 - Datanode GC优化一则

故障描述：

前一阵发现Jobtracker服务器宕机，追查宕机前系统负载情况，发现很多线程被阻塞，大多上面一些cron job对hdfs目录请求响应时间较长导致的，进一步追查后发现有若干datanode被exclude掉，报错信息如下：

datanode报错

ERROR1ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: DatanodeRegistration(x.x.x.x:50010, storageID=DS-1437963415-x.x.x.x-50010-1331795684559, infoPort=50075, ipcPort=50020):DataXceiverjava.net.ConnectException: Connection refusedERROR2ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: DatanodeRegistration(x.x.x.x:50010, storageID=DS-1437963415-x.x.x.x-50010-1331795684559, infoPort=50075, ipcPort=50020):DataXceiverjava.io.IOException: Connection reset by peerERROR3ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: DatanodeRegistration(x.x.x.x:50010, storageID=DS-534013790-x.x.x.x-50010-1331795710872, infoPort=50075, ipcPort=50020):DataXceiverjava.io.IOException: Interrupted receiveBlockERROR4ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: DatanodeRegistration(x.x.x.x:50010, storageID=DS-346899942-x.x.x.x-50010-1331795684322, infoPort=50075, ipcPort=50020):DataXceiverjava.io.EOFException: while trying to read 65557 bytesat org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.BlockReceiver.readToBuf(BlockReceiver.java:290)at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.BlockReceiver.readNextPacket(BlockReceiver.java:334)at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.BlockReceiver.receivePacket(BlockReceiver.java:398)at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.BlockReceiver.receiveBlock(BlockReceiver.java:577)at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataXceiver.writeBlock(DataXceiver.java:480)at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataXceiver.run(DataXceiver.java:171)

仔细排查所有ERROR，发现在datanode exclude后，之前部署的metric统计脚本发现，部分datanode内存耗尽，推测datanode节点存在内存瓶颈。
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

之前线上hadoop集群遇到过几次大量由于Datanode内存溢出，被强制下线后，导致线上集群不稳定的情况，故针对如上内存问题进行JVM GC的优化：

1.原FGC影响时间较长：
优化前：

S0     S1     E      O      P     YGC     YGCT    FGC    FGCT     GCT0.00  96.36  60.06  89.27  87.69   1926  387.419    93  589.308  976.7280.00  96.36  60.07  89.27  87.69   1926  387.419    93  589.308  976.7280.00  96.36  60.07  89.27  87.69   1926  387.419    93  589.308  976.7280.00  96.36  60.18  89.27  87.69   1926  387.419    93  589.308  976.7280.00  96.36  60.18  89.27  87.69   1926  387.419    93  589.308  976.728优化后：41.12   0.00   2.57  79.72  59.78    302  209.850   146   49.716  259.56641.12   0.00   3.88  79.72  59.78    302  209.850   146   49.716  259.56641.12   0.00   4.18  79.72  59.78    302  209.850   146   49.716  259.56641.12   0.00   4.39  79.72  59.78    302  209.850   146   49.716  259.56641.12   0.00   4.72  79.72  59.78    302  209.850   146   49.716  259.566

平均影响时间从6.33ms降至0.34ms

2.原Old Generation占用内存量巨大，可能产生内存溢出危险：

优化前PS Old Generationcapacity = 2863333376 (2730.6875MB)used     = 2556763896 (2438.3200607299805MB)free     = 306569480 (292.36743927001953MB)89.29326628294085% used优化后：PS Old Generationcapacity = 3221225472 (3072.0MB)used     = 2118978904 (2020.8157577514648MB)free     = 1102246568 (1051.1842422485352MB)65.78176294763882% used

占用比例从 89%->65%

之后再不存在Datanode由于GC缓慢导致RPC超时引发的一连串问题。
总结：

优化最重要花最长时间的是定位问题，所以帮助快速定位问题的工具很重要，ganglia及datanode、jobtracker 日志都给了我很大帮助，本次主要优化思路是在保证GC影响时间较短情况下，让Old Generation提早进行FGC,来保证有足够内存容量应对突发内存请求，详细参数如下：
