由于内存不足错误，无法在无所事事的Ubuntu框中启动Zookeeper服务器

Question

I've vagrant box with below ubuntu configurations.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

Below are the memory details -

$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            488          43          92           1         351         414

I've downloaded the file kafka_2.12-1.1.1.tgz from here .

Then I'm trying to start zookeeper server after extracting the archive using below command.

$ sudo /home/vagrant/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh  /home/vagrant/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000000e0000000, 536870912, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 536870912 bytes for committing reserved memory.
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /home/vagrant/hs_err_pid5404.log

I've provided the complete error log here .

I see always the vagrant machine has the swap space problem. How can I solve this problem and install successfully in vagrant machine.

You will need to show your Vagrant file but the default VM memory space is not enough to start Zookeeper, let alone Kafka as well as Zookeeper.

Assuming your host machine has at least 4G of memory, you can take a look at the Vagrant + Ansible repo that I've forked from Confluent that by default, will start Zookeeper and Kafka on separate machines.
