Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7743:
-------------------------------------
bq. well it will be released after a while if not used.
how long? it shouldn't ever be used, and it looks like it accumulates gigabytes
in total over the course of a few days (around 16-32Mb per thread)
bq. just pass in 0 for "int tinyCacheSize, int smallCacheSize, int
normalCacheSize".
Won't that obviate most of the benefit of the pooled buffers?
I plan to simply prevent our deallocating on the other threads.

> Key: CASSANDRA-7743
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7743
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Environment: Google Compute Engine, n1-standard-1
> Reporter: Pierre Laporte
> Assignee: Benedict
> Fix For: 2.1.0

>
> During a long running test, we ended up with a lot of
> "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory" errors on the Cassandra
> instances.
> Here is an example of stacktrace from system.log :

> The test consisted of a 3-nodes cluster of n1-standard-1 GCE instances (1
> vCPU, 3.75 GB RAM) running cassandra-2.1.0-rc5, and a n1-standard-2 instance
> running the test.
> After ~2.5 days, several requests start to fail and we see the previous
> stacktraces in the system.log file.
> The output from linux ‘free’ and ‘meminfo’ suggest that there is still memory
> available.
