# ERR\_SQL\_IMPALA\_MEMORYLIMIT: Impala memory limit exceeded[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_SQL_IMPALA_MEMORYLIMIT.html#err-sql-impala-memorylimit-impala-memory-limit-exceeded "Permalink to this headline")

## Description[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_SQL_IMPALA_MEMORYLIMIT.html#description "Permalink to this headline")

While executing a query, Impala encountered a memory limit exceeded situation.

This error can happen each time DSS interacts with Impala:

* When running an Impala code recipe

* When running a visual recipe with Impala engine

* When computing status of a HDFS dataset

* When computing charts on a HDFS dataset (including charts on a dashboard)

## Remediation[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_SQL_IMPALA_MEMORYLIMIT.html#remediation "Permalink to this headline")

This error is internal to Impala. Your administrator needs to change the configuration of the Hadoop cluster to increase the memory allocation to Impala.
