Hive query on small dataset never finishes (or OOM) - hadoop

Question

Performing a simple query on a small sample dataset (195 rows, 22 columns) either throws an out of memory exception, or, following many suggestions to increase memory sizes, never ends.
Options tried
set hive.optimize.sort.dynamic.partition = true
increase tez memory
increase memory & decrease shuffle size
increase memory
more like that
Sometimes the OOM error is gone, but then it runs for hours without any result...
Query
select * lag(status, 1, null) over (partition by type_id order by time) as status_prev from sample_table
Example query that never stops
hive -hiveconf hive.tez.container.size=2048 -hiveconf hive.tez.java.opts=-Xmx1640m -hiveconf tez.runtime.io.sort.mb=820 -hiveconf tez.runtime.unordered.output.buffer.size-mb=205 -e "select * lag(status, 1, null) over (partition by type_id order by time) as status_prev from sample_table"
Out of memory

Answer 1

Took me too long to find the answer, hopefully this will help someone else...
So this breaks down to 2 problems:
Heap size too small, solved by increasing heap size
Hive job stuck in pending status
The following command solved my issues
hive -hiveconf hive.tez.container.size=512 -hiveconf hive.tez.java.opts="-server -Xmx512m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" -e "select * lag(status, 1, null) over (partition by type_id order by time) as status_prev from sample_table"
