Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-15214:
----------------------------------------------------
Zoom out a bit - where would that exception end up if it were rethrown? I
can't remember precisely, but it is caught by Netty's default exception
handling and iirc simply logged.

> Project: Cassandra

> Netty (at least, and perhaps elsewhere in Executors) catches all exceptions,
> so presently there is no way to ensure that an OOM reaches the JVM handler to
> trigger a crash/heapdump.
> It may be that the simplest most consistent way to do this would be to have a
> single thread spawned at startup that waits for any exceptions we must
> propagate to the Runtime.
> We could probably submit a patch upstream to Netty, but for a guaranteed
> future proof approach, it may be worth paying the cost of a single thread.
