Suresh Srinivas resolved HADOOP-4802. ------------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate Fix Version/s: 0.22.0 0.21.0 0.20.2 This is duplicate of HADOOP-6460, which has been fixed. Marking this as resolved as well. > RPC Server send buffer retains size of largest response ever sent > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4802 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4802 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ipc > Affects Versions: 0.18.2, 0.19.0 > Reporter: stack > Fix For: 0.20.2, 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > > > The stack-based ByteArrayOutputStream in Server.Hander is reset each time > through the run loop. This will set the BAOS 'size' back to zero but the > allocated backing buffer is unaltered. If during an Handlers' lifecycle, any > particular RPC response was fat -- Megabytes, even -- the buffer expands > during the write to accommodate the particular response but then never > shrinks subsequently. If a hosting Server has had more than one 'fat > payload' occurrence, the resultant occupied heap can provoke memory woes (See > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-900?focusedCommentId=12654009#action_12654009 > for an extreme example; occasional payloads of 20-50MB with 30 handlers > robbed the heap of 700MB). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
