Hi All,

I see below error logs in ES, can you please guide why one might get the below exception

I am using ES 2.3.3 Heap size is 6G

[ep_fo_people_search_e92pbg01][[ep_fo_people_search_e92pbg01][1]] TranslogException[Failed to write operation [Create{id='http://plef4001.us.com:8000/psc/e92pbg01x_newwin/EMPLOYEE/E92PBG01/c/FO_EMPLOYEE.FO_EMPLOYEE.GBL?Page=FO_EMP_PERS_DATA1&Action=U&EMPLID=XE009100000', type='ep_fo_people_search_e92pbg01'}]]; nested: OutOfMemoryError[Java heap space];

OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Not enough HEAP available apparently.

Why? No idea without knowing anything about your cluster.

Hi,

I have a single node ES 2.3.2 cluster with 6G Heap running on Redhat 6.x machine. I am indexing docs using bulk api. Using curl 50 parallel bulk requests are hitting ES and each of size 12MB-15MB approx. after indexing around 1.7 million docs, i see Java OOM issue and I see the below info statements in logs

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
[2017-05-31 20:15:31,535][INFO ][monitor.jvm ] [pleej09_1] [gc][old][17986][7548] duration [5.2s], collections [1]/[5.5s], total [5.2s]/[11.1h], memory [5.7gb]->[5.7gb]/[5.8gb], all_pools {[young] [1.4gb]->[1.4gb]/[1.4gb]}{[survivor] [173.4mb]->[150.1mb]/[191.3mb]}{[old] [4.1gb]->[4.1gb]/[4.1gb]}

when I look into stats I see the below values in GC section

mem: {

},
survivor: {

},
old: {
used_in_bytes: 4435935232,
max_in_bytes: 4435935232,
peak_used_in_bytes: 4435935232,
peak_max_in_bytes: 4435935232
}
}
}

My question is why GC is not releasing memory and memory is growing continuously. Apart from indexing, no other activities being carried out on ES.

Also I use mapper attachment plugin in my ES as my docs contains attachments.
