Impala Daemon Resident Set Size

This Impala Daemon health test checks that the size of the resident set does not rise above a configured threshold value. A failure of this health test may indicates that the Impala Daemon process is consuming more memory than expected. It is possible that that unexpected memory consumption may lead to swapping and decreased performance for processes running on the same host as this Impala Daemon. Increased Impala Daemon memory consumption may be caused by an increased workload on the Impala service, or by a bug in the Impala Daemon software. To avoid failures of this health test, free up additional memory for this Impala Daemon process and increase the Resident Set Size Thresholds monitoring setting. This test can be configured using the Resident Set Size Thresholds Impala Daemon monitoring setting.
