doris-debug-node

A troubleshooting guide and command set for diagnosing health problems in Apache Doris, a distributed database. It covers crashes, memory exhaustion, file-descriptor limits, and cases where a server reports that it is alive but cannot serve queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating Frontend and Backend crashes, out-of-memory failures, false health reports, open-file exhaustion, and related resource problems.
Why use it?
It helps separate similar-looking database failures by connecting log messages and system checks to likely causes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

doris-debug-node scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Node Health

Causes

ID Cause Evidence Source anchor
A BE OOM / killed dmesg shows Killed; be.WARNING MemTrackerLimiter mem_tracker_limiter.cpp
B FE JVM OOM GC overhead / heap dump; fe.out shows OutOfMemoryError fe.conf JVM opts
C BE crash (SIGSEGV/SIGABRT) Core dump; be.out stacktrace doris_main.cpp signal handler
D False Alive SHOW BACKENDS Alive=true but queries fail brpc heartbeat vs brpc health
E FD exhaustion Too many open files in be.WARNING ulimit -n

10 min triage

# Memory pressure signals
./scripts/doris-debug log-grep be/log --pack memory
dmesg -T | grep -i "killed process" | tail -5

# FE JVM
jstack $(cat /path/to/fe.pid) > /tmp/fe.jstack
jmap -heap $(cat /path/to/fe.pid) 2>/dev/null | head -30

# FD count
ls /proc/$(cat /path/to/be.pid)/fd | wc -l
cat /proc/$(cat /path/to/be.pid)/limits | grep "open files"

# Resource snapshot
top -b -n 1 -p $(cat /path/to/be.pid) | head -5
free -h

Cause A — BE OOM

Doris tracks memory via MemTracker, but process RSS exceeds tracked memory due to:

  • jemalloc arena fragmentation (10-20% overhead)
  • brpc buffer pools (outside MemTracker)
  • Thread stacks (~8MB each × thread count)
# RSS vs tracked
ps -o rss= -p $BE_PID | awk '{printf "RSS: %.1f GB\n", $1/1024/1024}'
grep "MemTrackerLimiter.*total" be/log/be.WARNING | tail -1
# be.conf — defensive settings
mem_limit = 70%              # Leave 30% for overhead
max_segment_cache_size = 0   # Or cap explicitly
enable_je_purge = true       # jemalloc dirty page cleanup

If ProcessMemoryReachedCancel didn't fire but OOM killer did: the gap between mem_limit and system RAM wasn't enough for jemalloc + brpc overhead.

Cause B — FE JVM

# FE JVM opts (from fe.conf or start script)
ps aux | grep "PaloFe" | grep -o "\-Xmx[^ ]*"

Common: FE heap grows with catalog metadata (many tables/partitions). Raise -Xmx or reduce hive_meta_cache_ttl_sec / catalog refresh frequency.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

doris-debug-node is a skill published in the GitHub repository apache/doris-skills (37 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 868 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
