Troubleshooting
---------------

If you encounter errors like
`blas_thread_init: pthread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable` when using many workers,
try setting ``OMP_NUM_THREADS=1``. Similarly, check configured system limits with
`ulimit -a` for other resource limit errors.

For debugging unexpected hangs or performance problems, you can run ``ray stack`` to dump
the stack traces of all Ray workers on the current node, ``ray timeline`` to dump
a timeline visualization of tasks to a file, and ``ray memory`` to list all object
references in the cluster.

TensorFlow 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RLlib currently runs in ``tf.compat.v1`` mode. This means eager execution is disabled by default, and RLlib imports TF with ``import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf; tf.disable_v2_behaviour()``. Eager execution can be enabled manually by calling ``tf.enable_eager_execution()`` or setting the ``"eager": True`` trainer config.
