> Key: HADOOP-10591
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10591
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Hari Shreedharan
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Attachments: HADOOP-10591.001.patch
>
>
> Currently direct buffers allocated by compression codecs like Gzip (which
> allocates 2 direct buffers per instance) are not deallocated when the stream
> is closed. Eventually for long running processes which create a huge number
> of files, these direct buffers are left hanging till a full gc, which may or
> may not happen in a reasonable amount of time - especially if the process
> does not use a whole lot of heap.
> Either these buffers should be pooled or they should be deallocated when the
> stream is closed.
