             Summary: Netty unpooled heap metric keep on growing
                 Key: ARTEMIS-5721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-5721
             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Francesco Nigro


This is a clone of [https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/50538] which 
seems related to not properly release the ClientLargeMessageImpl's heap Netty 
ByteBuf referenced into the buffer field, once not used anymore.

In short: if heap-based buffers are not released, their pool's metric will 
report them as used, causing all the observability tools to think that's a leak 
- even if the pool is "unpooled".

There are 2 solutions to this problem:
 # release it, but the reset limit unreleaseable duplicate need to NOT be used 
anymore, after it happens
 # not release it but just implement (similar to what Vertx has done) a byte[] 
backed ByteBuf which doesn't care about reference counting (and updating 
metrics), see 
[https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vert.x/blob/master/vertx-core/src/main/java/io/vertx/core/impl/buffer/VertxByteBufAllocator.java#L47]
