Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-15214:
-----------------------------------------
I noticed that after this patch we produce the synthetic heap OOM even if the
crash/exit on oom flags are not set, which can happen if the user upgrades from
an older version without updating "cassandra-env.sh". This can potentially
leave the JVM in a worse state if we fill the heap and the JVM is not killed.
Do you think it makes sense to only generate the Heap OOM when the crash/exit
on OOM flags are set [~jolynch] [~yifanc] ?

> 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.
