Error Building Hive on OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Question

Building Hive with Maven:

mvn clean install -Phadoop-2,dist

Java version:

$ java -version
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx2048m
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-466.1-11M4716)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-466.1, mixed mode)

I tried setting the following Parameters:

$ env | grep JAVA
    JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx2048m
    _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx2048m

r$ env | grep MAVEN
    MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx2048m

I also tried editing pom.xml and set maven-surefire-plugin

<argLine>-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m</argLine>



The system is out of resources.

Answer 1

You can unset _JAVA_OPTIONS, and set MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms2048m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m". And you could install oracle java 7/8.
