Hi Sean,

Yes, please try with a more recent version. I can see that Update 38
is available. Please try with this one and keep us informed.

Hi Ke,
            We are still looking at possible complications of the VM environment. I will post whatever we discover.

Thanks for your interest,

Sean

Subject: Re: Problems

is there anything done with hardware? i used thinkpad t430,this problem occurs,but i used about 100 machines ,there is nothing to do  with this ,all the machines is redhat 6.0,and the jdk is jdk1.5 to jdk1.6 , so i think there is something to do with the hardware，any idea?

  Hi Sean,

  Will you be able to run the memtest86 on this VM? Maybe it's an issue
  with the way the VM is managing the memory?

  I ran HBase+Hadoop on a desktop with only 1.5G. So you should not have
  any issue with 6GB.

  I don't think the issue you are facing is related to hadoop. Can you
  try to run a simple Java application in you JVM? Something which will
  use lot of memory. And see if it works?
