OutOfMemory error from S3 transfer manager
Hi, we've been seeing issues where the number of threads open by the plugin seems to be increasing unbounded and the connector workers all eventually die with stack traces pointing to failure to create threads in the S3 transfer manager. We do see data being uploaded to S3 but I'm wondering if this might be a case where we are consuming faster than we can upload. Has this been observed by anyone else in the past and is there a known workaround? Thanks.

Hi @dhamilton Thanks for reporting it. This seems to be caused due to a bug in s3a where it does not clean up threads, and instead goes on creating worker threads and eventually runs out. We just found this issue and am working on a fix (which is to upgrade AWS SDK)
Meanwhile, you could try using NativeS3FileSystem instead of S3A. I will have this fix soon and you could try it out.
Thanks Praveen
Awesome, thank you so much for the quick reply, we'll try the NativeS3FileSystem for now.
Also just so you're aware we also hit the following issue https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/pull/363 in the schema registry client which blocked us from syncing multiple topics with the same schema. We rebuilt your plugin using confluent version 3.0.1 and kafka version 0.10.0.1 and this issue was corrected by that update.
@dhamilton Can you try it out now. I have pushed a commit which upgrades the AWS SDK (and hadoop), and this should fix this thread leak issue. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks for using StreamX
Regarding confluent + kafka version upgrade, I will test it out
We're seeing the following issue when trying to resume the job. Have you seen this before?

Just to follow up that exception does not occur when using the NativeS3FileSystem. I've seen it in the past using the S3FileSystem outside of this issue.
This usually points to some wrong config related to s3a, check the access/secret keys and the file system impl configs. Task will try creating S3Storage and it fails when there is any hadoop/s3 issues and then it gets into closePartitions flow - which is not the real issue.
@dhamilton I have been testing this and hitting number of issues with S3A. In my testing, I dont see any NativeS3FileSystem issues, so I suggest you to use that instead. (I will spend some more time to get check S3A more)
Yes we've been having much better luck with NativeS3FileSystem so we'll stick with that for now. Thanks for your help!
~~I am unable to use NativeS3FileSystem command. Can you share your setting for how you get this to work?~~ I got this to work. I will see if I get OutOfMemory now.
Here is the summary of this issue
- Hadoop 2.7/2.6 by default uses AWS SDK 1.7.4. This version of AWS SDK has a thread leak issue(s3-transfer-manager-worker-1 is the thread name). Reported here https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=83520&tstart=0
- Thread leak issue is fixed and they ask to upgrade to later AWS SDK. So, I picked 1.11.69 version of AWS SDK. (I could confirm that there is no thread leak after this upgrade)
- After AWS SDK upgrade, it hits Connection pool shut down issue - I could find this reported by another user here https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/issues/490
- the above JIRA indicates this issue is related to httpClient and this is fixed in 4.4a1 version of httpClient http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25889925/apache-poolinghttpclientconnectionmanager-throwing-illegal-state-exception
- Upgrading httpClient does not seem to solve the problem. So, am still hitting "Connection Pool Shut Down" issue with AWS SDK version 1.11.69. Am trying out few different versions to see if I can get this working.
Let me know if you find anything.
I tried more to get this working.
- I had added
aws-java-sdk-s3version 1.1.86 (latest version) as maven dependency and been testing that. I just found that the dependencyhadoop-awsis still pulling theaws-java-sdk1.7.4, so I missed to exclude that. I excluded 1.7.4 and made sure only later version ofaws-java-sdk-s3is in classpath - I found the following issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12420. AWS SDK has changed some method signatures and S3AFileSystem cant work with this new signatures. So, S3AFileSystem is compatible only with
aws-java-sdk1.7.4 - and that has thread leak issue. Due to this, currently its not possible to solve this.
There are two approaches
- Fix thread leak in
aws-java-sdk1.7.4 version and publish another artifact - Change
S3AFileSystemto work with the newer signatures of AWS SDK
I guess both of these are not straight forward. AWS SDK upgrade in hadoop is done, but this fix is available in hadoop 2.8 or 3.0 (not released yet). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12269. Will wait for it to become stable and then upgrade hadoop version, which will fix this issue.
Please use NativeS3FileSystem till then. Thanks
