Hadoop YARN job is getting stucked at map 0% and reduce 0% - hadoop

Question

I am trying to run a very simple job to test my hadoop setup so I tried with Word Count Example , which get stuck in 0% , so i tried some other simple jobs and each one of them stuck
52191_0003/
14/07/14 23:55:51 INFO mapreduce.Job: Running job: job_1405376352191_0003

14/07/14 23:55:57 INFO mapreduce.Job: map 0% reduce 0%
I am using hadoop version- Hadoop 2.3.0-cdh5.0.2
I did quick research on Google and found to increase
yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-mb
yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb
I am having single node cluster, running in my Macbook with dual core and 8 GB Ram.

Answer 1

Based on the messsage Connecting to ResourceManager at /0.0.0.0:8030,
are you sure your ResourceManager is supposed to be at 0.0.0.0:8030 (the default)?
If not you should add the following to your yarn-site.xml:
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.hostname</name>
<value>MASTER ADDRESS</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.resource-tracker.address</name>
<value>${yarn.resourcemanager.hostname}:8025</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.scheduler.address</name>
<value>${yarn.resourcemanager.hostname}:8030</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.address</name>
<value>${yarn.resourcemanager.hostname}:8040</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address</name>
<value>${yarn.resourcemanager.hostname}:8088</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.resourcemanager.admin.address</name>
<value>${yarn.resourcemanager.hostname}:8033</value>
</property>
Replace MASTER ADDRESS with the address of the master node. You can individually change the address of the resource manager's webapp, admin, etc.

Answer 2

Your settings appear to be incorrect.
The setting yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb
is set to 2GB. This is the "amount of physical memory, in MB, that can be allocated for containers." But your mapreduce.map.memory.mb is 8GB. 8GB is what you're really requesting.
Additionally, you have set yarn.app.mapreduce.am.resource.mb to 8GB. As such, you're trying to allocate an AM which controls the job at 8GB plus several mappers at 8GB.
Solution
To solve the issue, you can drop the AM size to 1GB and then the mapper size to .5GB, which is a more reasonable size for playing around especially for word count.
Additional resources
You can refer to this instruction provided by Clouera to understand these properties in more detail.

Answer 3

I don't know if you simply made a copy/paste error when creating this question but looking at your yarn-site.xml it starts with two <property> tags. I'm not sure if Hadoop's xml parser will actually apply those nested <property> tags.

Answer 4

I am using Apache Hadoop version 2.7.2 so it might be like "apples-to-oranges" comparison, however I ran into the same silent stuck state the other day. In most of the cases this "silence" for an extended period of time indicates that the scheduler is not able to allocate enough resources to the application.
In my specific case with a similar configuration, increasing the value for property yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb in yarn-site.xml did the trick.
