Connections are reused right? So this should not be an issue. I remember
having some issue related to having file system cache growing huge and causing
memory issues.

It is correct that connections are re-used and cache growing huge is also an
issue that we have seen before. It was fixed by calling closeAllForUGI in
TaskTracker.
