Mac Yang commented on CHUKWA-79:
--------------------------------

Reported from a user,

I saw 6 java processes whose job are nothing but launching external  
commands (sar, ps, netstat, iostat, df, top, iostat). Each process  
takes 150mb virtual memory and 20MB residential memory. This is a  
total of 120MB for doing very trivial things.

> Chukwa should use less memory to collect SystemMetrics

> Chukwa is using 1 daemon process per Exec command. 
> This should be reduced to one and we should investigate how to use 3rd party 
> libraries to collect system metrics in a more efficient way.
