CDH: unable to create new native thread
发现问题
CDH-4.7.1 NameNode is down
启动NameNode报错如下，无法创建新的线程，可能是使用的线程数超过max user processes设定的阈值

日志内容如下，检查DNS没有问题，这里没有太多参考意义

故障排查
这里设置的max user processes为65535已经非常大了，一般来说是达不到这个瓶颈的
# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 127452 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 65535 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 65535 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited
现在系统的总进程数仅仅一百多个，我们要检查每个进程对应有多少个线程
# ps -ef|wc -l
169
已知这台服务器上主要跑的是java进程，所以重点查看java进程对应的线程数，找到30315这个进程对应约32110个线程，在加上其他进程和线程数，总数超过65535，NameNode无法在申请到多余的线程，所以报错
# pgrep java
1680
5482
19662
28770
30315
35902
# for i in `pgrep java`; do ps -T -p $i |wc -l; done
15
49
30
53
32110
114
# ps -T -p 30315|wc -l
32110
或者通过top -H 命令查看
# top -H

解决方法
找到了问题的原因，我们可以重新设定max user processes的值为100000，再次启动NameNode成功
#echo "100000" > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
#echo "100000" > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max （默认32768）
#echo "200000" > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count （默认65530）
#vim /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf
* soft nproc unlimited
root soft nproc unlimited
#vim /etc/security/limits.conf
* soft nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535
* hard nproc 100000
* soft nproc 100000
# ulimit -u
100000
