Count * query gets stuck at reducer 0% although the mapper completes - hadoop

I have a hive external table with 255 columns which has input data size of around 25 GB. This is a single node cluster set up with Hadoop-1.2.1 and hive-0.11.0.
I am able to create tables, databases etc... But when I try a count(*) query in hive, the mapper succeeds but the reducers never start. They are stuck at 0% forever.
The single node machine has a memory of 1TB. Any inputs here will be greatly appreciated.

My suggestion is to use beeline instead of hive, Hive is deprecated so some issues will not be resolved when it is getting deprecated.

To speed up hive process, how to adjust mapper and reducer number using tez

I tried the process(word labeling of sentence) of large data(about 150GB) using tez , but the problem is that it took so much time(1week or more),then
I tried to specify number of mapper.
Though I set mapred.map.tasks =2000,
but I can't stop mapper being set to about 150,
so I can't do what I want to do.
I specify the map value in oozie workflow file and use the tez.
How can I specify the number of mapper?
Finally I want to speed up the process, it is ok not to use tez.
In addition, I would like to count labeled sentence by reducer, it takes so much time,too.
And , I also want to know how I adjust memory size to use each mapper and reducer process.
In order to manually set the number of mappers in a Hive query when TEZ is the execution engine the configuration tez.grouping.split-count can be used...
... set tez.grouping.split-count=4 will create 4 mappers

However, overall, you should optimize the storage format and the Hive partitions before you even begin tuning the Tez settings. Do not try and process data STORED AS TEXT in Hive. Convert it to ORC or Parquet first.
If Tez isn't working out for you, you can always try Spark. Plus labelling sentences is probably a Spark MLlib worlflow you can find somewhere

how to set Hive reduce operator since reduce operator is always is 0

I am trying to upload data to hive rc and orc file but number of reducer is always 0. I try to to set the reducer in hive with set mapred.reducer.tasks=1 but it does not work. I found internet that default size per reducer is 1G so i try to upload 3G data so reducer would be at least 2. what i have to work reduce operator?
I would need more information about the query to know for sure but my guess is that the query you are running is a map only job, thus not requiring any reducers. You can add a DISTRIBUTE BY statement to force Hadoop to use reducers. For example,
SELECT txn_id FROM table;
will be a map only job. You can force Hive to add a reduce step by adding this clause.
SELECT txn_id FROM table
DISTRIBUTE BY txn_id;
Try
set mapred.reduce.tasks=99;
set hive.exec.reducers.max=99;
However it is likely that your tasks do not require a reducer.

Hive Queries are running with too many reducers

Recently we have upgraded from Hadoop 2.0.0-cdh4.2.1 to Hadoop 2.6.0-cdh5.4.2.
Now we are using Hive 1.1.0-cdh5.4.2.
When I ran a simple hive query it's taking too many reducers, In the previous version it took 120 reducers and in the new version it took 1100 reducers.
Can any one tell me why this is happening ?
Thanks in advance.
The number of reducers is decided by hive, based on bytes you allocate or the type of query you used (usage of count and just select *). Please look here for more information. here

Reduce job pending in HFileOutputFormat

I am using
Hbase:0.92.1-cdh4.1.2, and
Hadoop:2.0.0-cdh4.1.2
I have a mapreduce program that will load data from HDFS to HBase using HFileOutputFormat in cluster mode.
In that mapreduce program i'm using HFileOutputFormat.configureIncrementalLoad() to bulk load a 800000 record
data set which is of 7.3GB size and it is running fine, but it's not running for 900000 record data set which is of 8.3GB.
In the case of 8.3GB data my mapreduce program have 133 maps and one reducer,all maps completed successfully.My reducer status is always in Pending for a long time. There is nothing wrong with the cluster since other jobs are running fine and this job also running fine upto 7.3GB of data.
What could i be doing wrong?
How do I fix this issue?
I ran into the same problem. Looking at the DataTracker logs, I noticed there was not enough free space for the single reducer to run on any of my nodes:
2013-09-15 16:55:19,385 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobInProgress: No room for reduce task. Node tracker_slave01.mydomain.com:localhost/127.0.0.1:43455 has 503,777,017,856 bytes free; but we expect reduce input to take 978136413988
This 503gb refers to the free space available on one of the hard drives on the particular slave ("tracker_slave01.mydomain.com"), thus the reducer apparently needs to copy all the data to a single drive.
The reason this happens is your table only has one region when it is brand new. As data is inserted into that region, it'll eventually split on its own.
A solution to this is to pre-create your regions when creating your table. The Bulk Loading Chapter in the HBase book discusses this, and presents two options for doing this. This can also be done via the HBase shell (see create's SPLITS argument I think). The challenge though is defining your splits such that the regions get an even distribution of keys. I've yet to solve this problem perfectly, but here's what I'm doing currently:
HTableDescriptor desc = new HTableDescriptor();
desc.setName(Bytes.toBytes(tableName));
desc.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("my_col_fam"));
admin.createTable(desc, Bytes.toBytes(0), Bytes.toBytes(2147483647), 100);
An alternative solution would be to not use configureIncrementalLoad, and instead: 1) just generate your HFile's via MapReduce w/ no reducers; 2) use completebulkload feature in hbase.jar to import your records to HBase. Of course, I think this runs into the same problem with regions, so you'll want to create the regions ahead of time too (I think).
Your job is running with single reduces, means 7GB data getting processed on single task.
The main reason of this is HFileOutputFormat starts reducer that sorts and merges data to be loaded in HBase table.
here, Num of Reducer = num of regions in HBase table
Increase the number of regions and you will achieve parallelism in reducers. :)

What is Hive: Return Code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask

I am getting:

While trying to make a copy of a partitioned table using the commands in the hive console:

That's not the real error, here's how to find it:
Go to the hadoop jobtracker web-dashboard, find the hive mapreduce jobs that failed and look at the logs of the failed tasks. That will show you the real error.
The console output errors are useless, largely beause it doesn't have a view of the individual jobs/tasks to pull the real errors (there could be errors in multiple tasks)
I know I am 3 years late on this thread, however still providing my 2 cents for similar cases in future.
I recently faced the same issue/error in my cluster.
The JOB would always get to some 80%+ reduction and fail with the same error, with nothing to go on in the execution logs either.
Upon multiple iterations and research I found that among the plethora of files getting loaded some were non-compliant with the structure provided for the base table(table being used to insert data into partitioned table).
Point to be noted here is whenever I executed a select query for a particular value in the partitioning column or created a static partition it worked fine as in that case error records were being skipped.
TL;DR: Check the incoming data/files for inconsistency in the structuring as HIVE follows Schema-On-Read philosophy.
Adding some information here, as it took me awhile to find the hadoop jobtracker web-dashboard in HDInsight (Azure's Hadoop), and a colleague finally showed me where it was. There is a shortcut on the head node called "Hadoop Yarn Status" which is just a link to a local http page (http://headnodehost:9014/cluster in my case). When opened the dashboard looked like this:
In that dashboard you can find your failed application, and then after clicking into it you can look at the logs of the individual map and reduce jobs.
In my case it seemed to still be running out of memory in the reducers, even though I had cranked the memory in the configuration already. For some reason it was not surfacing the "java outofmemory" errors I got earlier though.
The top answer is right, that the error code doesn't give you much info. One of the common causes that we saw in our team for this error code was when the query was not optimized well. A known reason was when we do an inner join with the left side table magnitudes bigger than the table on right side. Swapping these tables would usually do the trick in such cases.
I removed the _SUCCESS file from the EMR output path in S3 and it worked fine.
I was also facing same error when I was inserting the data into HIVE external table which was pointing to Elastic search cluster.
I replaced the older JAR elasticsearch-hadoop-2.0.0.RC1.jar to elasticsearch-hadoop-5.6.0.jar, and everything worked fine.
My Suggestion is please use the specific JAR as per the elastic search version. Don't use older JARs if you are using newer version of elastic search.
Thanks to this post Hive- Elasticsearch Write Operation #409
Received this error when joining two tables. And one table is large in size and another table is small, which could fit into disk memory. In such a case, use
set hive.auto.convert.join = false
This might help to get rid of the above error. For more detail on this issue please refer to the below threads
Hive Map-Join configuration mystery
Hive.auto.convert.join = true what is the significance of this?
Even I faced the same issue - when checked on dashboard I found following Error. As the data was coming through Flume and had interrupted in between due to which may be there was inconsistency in few files.
Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException: org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected end-of-input within/between OBJECT entries
Running on fewer files it worked. Format consistency was the reason in my case.
I faced the same issue because I didn't have permission to query the database I was trying to.
In the case you don't have permission to query the table/database, besides the Return Code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask error, you will see that in Cloudera Manager is not even registering your query.
In my case, the solution was adding more RAM Memory to the Virtual Machines. Sometimes code 2 means that Map and Reduce nodes do not have enough memory.
Another option could be changing the properties "mapreduce.map.memory.mb" y "mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb" in the mapred-site.xml file.
I got the same error while creating the hive table in beeline and then tried to create through spark-shell which thrown actual error. In my case error was with disk space quota for hdfs directory.
org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: The DiskSpace quota of /user/hive/warehouse/XXX_XX.db is exceeded: quota = 6597069766656 B = 6 TB but diskspace consumed = 6597493381629 B = 6.00 TB
