hive oozie

I am trying to run a simple workflow executing a hive script. This hive script just calls joining(tables is very large); Once the hive script execution ends I was expecting to see the workflow status changing from RUNNING to successful, but this is not happening.

This is the content of the workflow log:

@BorderStark I don't think the property signifies its size in MB. The size is in "characters" i.e. bytes according to following entry in oozie-default.xml file.

<property>
     <name>oozie.action.max.output.data</name>
     <value>2048</value>
     <description>
         Max size in characters for output data.
     </description>
 </property>
