Akka Cluster 'akka.jvm-exit-on-fatal-error' With 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space'

[Puneet Jain]

Hi,

I am using akka cluster for my application for communication between multiple jvm. I am using akka cluster with play framework. I have a cluster with 5 different JVM and they work fine at the start. After sometime the cluster gets broken with a exception:

[ERROR] [01/07/2014 23:58:43.870] [actorsystem-cluster-dispatcher-14] [akka://actorsystem/system/cluster/core/daemon] Cluster Node [akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8081] - Marking node(s) as UNREACHABLE [Member(address = akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8082, status = Up), Member(address = akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8083, status = Up), Member(address = akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8084, status = Up), Member(address = akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8085, status = Up)]

Uncaught error from thread [actorsystem-cluster-dispatcher-14] shutting down JVM since 'akka.jvm-exit-on-fatal-error' is enabled for ActorSystem[actorsystem]

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

I am not able to understand why this is happening.

Here is the environment I am using:

Java: 1.6

Play: 2.1.3

Akka: 2.1.4

Heap Size: default

Here is the configuration I am using for my application:

{

   "cluster-dispatcher":{

      "fork-join-executor":{

         "parallelism-min":2,

         "parallelism-max":4

      },

      "executor":"fork-join-executor",

      "type":"Dispatcher"

   },

   "akka":{

      "loglevel":"ERROR"

      },

      "cluster":{

         "auto-down":"on",

         "failure-detector":{

            "acceptable-heartbeat-pause":"10s",

            "threshold":15

         },

         "seed-nodes":[

            "akka://actorsys...@127.0.0.1:8081",

            "akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8082",

            "akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8083",

            "akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8084",

            "akka://actorsystem@127.0.0.1:8085"

         ],

         "use-dispatcher":"cluster-dispatcher"

      },

      "remote":{

         "transport":"akka.remote.netty.NettyRemoteTransport",

         "netty":{

            "port":8081,

            "hostname":"127.0.0.1"

         },

         "log-remote-lifecycle-events":"on"

      },

      "actor":{

         "provider":"akka.cluster.ClusterActorRefProvider"

      }

   }

}

All the nodes have same configuration except the port they running. My release is stuck due to this issue. Please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Puneet

You will have to increase perm gen space for your jvm.

Hi,

I have 2GB Ram on my machine, All 5 process are running on the same machine. Please suggest me what should be the necessary size of PremGen for the akka cluster. With the respective configuration.

Thanks,

Puneet

Tuning is very application specific and it will be a challenge for you to fit 5 JVMs in 2 GB of RAM.

First thing you can try is -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

Regards,

Patrik

Thanks Viktor and Patrik, I'll try these item. Also I found some of the jvm option i.e. -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled. Let me see if they can also solve my problem.

Thanks,

Puneet
