Hi all,

We are using elasticsearch in our production backing dashboards with social media data. We are running 0.90 version.

Our volume of data grows every day, so we semi-regularly add servers to our cluster to keep things running smooth. A year ago we went from 4 nodes to 6 nodes. One month ago we have gone from 6 to 8 nodes. Only now, we are seeing OutOfMemory like issues again.

My question: It surprises me that we are hitting resource limits again so soon, increase in data does not explain that very well. Any suggestions for causes?

Best regards,  
Eike dehling

There is more to the issue than merely your configuration. What are your  
queries? Are you doing a lot of aggregations, especially on on  
high-cardinality fields. What kind of hardware are you running now?

Using the API, looks at your field cache usage. The field cache is held  
within the Java heap space, which would cause the out of memory issues.

Cheers,

Ivan

Hi ivan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

We are doing a lot of aggregations. And those are often the direct cause  
for a crash: a particularly large aggregation using more than available  
memory.

Field data is around 10gb, of the 31gb assigned to each node, field data  
does not change much after our initial warmers are loaded.

I had expected that the recent addition of two nodes to the cluster would  
give us enough resources to run trouble-free. Each node now has less shards  
(from 6 nodes with 4 shards, to 8 nodes with 3 shards), and as such  
searches and aggregates over one quarter less data? Is this simple math  
true, or am i missing something?

How is field data expected to grow or shrink when going from 4 to 3 shards  
on a node? Does it use about one quarter less memory?

Eike

It could tell more if you have the memory error. We are using version 0.90  
as well and recently our traffic surge and our problem was due to the file  
descriptor reach, based on the error in the log, so we increase the file  
descriptor for the user, max number of processes per user.

This does not mean it would work for your situation but just saying you can  
start to investigate from the log.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the help.

I am getting errors like this, which i interpret as that execution of a  
query requested more than available memory.

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space  
at org.apache.lucene.util.FixedBitSet.(FixedBitSet.java:54)  
at  
org.apache.lucene.search.MultiTermQueryWrapperFilter.getDocIdSet(MultiTermQueryWrapperFilter.java:104)  
at  
org.apache.lucene.search.ConstantScoreQuery$ConstantWeight.scorer(ConstantScoreQuery.java:142)  
at  
org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery$BooleanWeight.scorer(BooleanQuery.java:311)  
...

What bothers me, is why our recent addition (last month) of two nodes (from  
6 to 8) to the cluster has not solved this issue.

What i expect, is that growing the cluster from 6 to 8 nodes means each  
node has about 25% more resources available. Less field data loaded per  
node (since it now has less shards) and less data/shards to aggregate over.  
I am looking for an explanation why this did not work that way, any hints  
are welcome!
