Norman Maurer commented on CASSANDRA-13929:
-------------------------------------------

Just a general comment.... The recycler only makes sense to use if creating the 
object is considered very expensive and or if you create / destroy a lot of 
these very frequently. Which means usually thousands per second.  So if this is 
not the case here I think it completely reasonable to not use the Recycler at 
all... As I have no idea really about the use-case I am just leave this here as 
general comment :)

> Different to CASSANDRA-13754, there seems to be another memory leak in 
> 3.11.0+ in BTree$Builder / io.netty.util.Recycler$Stack.
> * heap utilization increase after upgrading to 3.11.0 => 
> cassandra_3.11.0_min_memory_utilization.jpg
> * No difference after upgrading to 3.11.1 (snapshot build) => 
> cassandra_3.11.1_snapshot_heaputilization.png; thus most likely after fixing 
> CASSANDRA-13754, more visible now
> * MAT shows io.netty.util.Recycler$Stack as top contributing class => 
> cassandra_3.11.1_mat_dominator_classes.png
> * With -Xmx8G (CMS) and our load pattern, we have to do a rolling restart 
> after ~ 72 hours
> Verified the following fix, namely explicitly unreferencing the 
> _recycleHandle_ member (making it non-final). In 
> _org.apache.cassandra.utils.btree.BTree.Builder.recycle()_
> {code}
>         public void recycle()
>         {
>             if (recycleHandle != null)
>             {
>                 this.cleanup();
>                 builderRecycler.recycle(this, recycleHandle);
>                 recycleHandle = null; // ADDED
>             }
>         }
> {code}
> Patched a single node in our loadtest cluster with this change and after ~ 10 
> hours uptime, no sign of the previously offending class in MAT anymore => 
> cassandra_3.11.1_mat_dominator_classes_FIXED.png
> Can' say if this has any other side effects etc., but I doubt.
