Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-9182:
-------------------------------------
We don't do anything thread-local that could cause this. My guess is you're
forgetting to close your files. If you can show a simple standalone reproducing
program, we can take a look. Otherwise I'm inclined to mark "cannot reproduce"
> the buffer used in hdfsRead seems leaks when the thread exits

> I use multi-threads in my c++ program to download 3000 files in HDFS use
> libhdfs. Every thread is created by "pthread_create" to download a file and
> exit. We monitor the memory status when the program is running. It seems
> every thread will create a buffer which size is specified by the buffersize
> parameter in "hdfsOpenFile" function. But when the thread finish the task and
> exit, it doesn't free the buffer. So our program will eventually abort by
> Java's "out of memory" exception. I just don't know how to free the buffer or
> I use these functions in wrong way. Thanks!
