Re: [geomesa-users] Accumulo tablet-servers dying when accessing table via GeoServer using GeoMesa Plugin

Jim,

I believe we have evidence that GeoServer AND the Accumulo TabletServer may be experiencing out of memory conditions. I'm experimenting with the memory-related configuration parameters, but since I can't duplicate the error without running our web-app, it's a bit difficult to diagnose.

I think we're just running GeoServer via Jetty.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

Is that error happening on GeoServer or Accumulo?  I imagine the GeoServer JVM is likely reporting its OOM.

How much memory are giving GeoServer?  Are you running it via Tomcat, Jetty, or JBoss?

Thanks,

Jim

We *have* seen issues where the Accumulo server starts swapping, Zookeeper starts timing out, and then everything collapses.
