Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when starting second node in 0.11.0 cluster

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've just started trying out Elastic Search 0.11.0. I start a node with 'bin/elasticsearch -f' (and all the defaults in bin/elasticsearch.in.sh') and it comes up fine. Then when I start up my java application which tries to connect, the first node I started from the command line trows out a 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space' as soon as my application tries to joing the cluster.

I can start a second node and have it join the first successfully if the second node is also just an unzipped 0.11.0 distribution that I start with 'bin/elasticsearch -f,' but the node inside my java application just can't join without causing problems to the node its trying to join. I am using 0.11.0 on both the first node and in the java application.

Below is how I try to start up my node in java. All the config settings reflect those in the elasticsearch.yml of the node that starts from the command line.

private void initClient() {
        NodeBuilder nb = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().client(true);
        nb.settings().put("gateway.type", "fs");
        nb.settings().put("gateway.fs.location", "/tmp/elasticsearch/gateway");
        nb.settings().put("index.store.type", "mmapfs");
        nb.settings().put("index.store.fs.mmapfs.enabled", "true");
        nb.settings().put("index.merge.policy.merge_factor", "20");
        nb.settings().put("path.work", "/tmp/elasticsearch2/work"); 
        nb.settings().put("path.logs", "/tmp/elasticsearch2/logs");
        nb.settings().put("discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts", "localhost:9300");
        nb.settings().put("discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts", elasticSearchHostsList);

        this.indexClient = nb.node().client();   //when this line executes, I get the error in the other node
}

Thanks for any help you can afford.

I should note that when these nodes come up, their work, gateway, and log directories are empty. There is nothing indexed at all yet.

Are you connecting with a java client of the same version?

yes, both are 0.11 - java app as well as the command-line started data node.

This is really strange... . First, just a note regarding the configuration,
you don't need to configure index level configuration on the client side,
since you set it to client(true), no shards will be allocated to it, so it
won't need the configuration (like the store type, or merge factor).

If there are no indices, my best guess is different versions, just to be on
the safe side, can you add right at the start in your client:

System.out.println(org.elasticsearch.Version.full());

and see what it prints...

If it prints 0.11, is there a way for me to get the heap dump of the server
node? It should be under ES_HOME/work/heap.

Looks like your suspicion is right. Even though I have changed my mvn dependencies to the elastic search 0.11.0 jar, for some reason the old version must be sneaking in there. The line you suggested prints out:

elasticsearch/0.9.0

Thanks. I'l try to figure out where the 0.9 jar is sneaking into my project.

Phew :slight_smile:
