John George resolved HDFS-307. ------------------------------ Resolution: Invalid Fix Version/s: 0.23.0 0.22.0 This is fixed in trunk. > Namenode GUI does not show actual memory usage > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-307 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-307 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Qi Liu > Assignee: John George > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.22.0, 0.23.0 > > Attachments: a.patch > > > In the namenode GUI, the showed memory usage is not the actual memory usage. > Instead, it is the memory currently allocated to Java > (Runtime.totalMemory()). That's why we see most of the time, the memory usage > is 100%. This is a concern for operation, since this is the only page we can > monitor the memory usage of a name node. Showing 100% makes the wrong > impression that there is a memory leak in name node, and the name node needs > to be restarted. > The current value should show would be Runtime.totalMemory() - > Runtime.freeMemory(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
