Wei Deng created CASSANDRA-9604:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Upon JVM OOM (Out Of Memory), print out a summary of heap 
histograms in addition to heap dump
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9604
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9604
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Config
            Reporter: Wei Deng
            Priority: Minor


It appears that jmap has an option to allow dumping heap histograms after a 
heap dump is generated 
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/memleaks-137499.html#gbywi). 
This could be useful to provide a very quick overview of the biggest objects in 
heap without having to download the massive hprof file off the Cassandra nodes. 
We can potentially hook it up using this JVM option: 
-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError="<cmd args>; <cmd args>" in the cassandra-env.sh file.
