FAQ

Here is a list of frequently asked questions.

• Why does my Giraph job randomly fail after hundreds of supersteps?
  • In Hadoop 0.20.203.0 onwards, there is a limit on the number of counters one can use, which is set to 120 by default. This limit restricts the number of iterations/supersteps possible in Giraph. This limit can be increased by setting a parameter mapreduce.job.counters.limit in job tracker's config file mapred-site.xml.
