hao ying updated COMPRESS-606: ------------------------------ Description: i try to use TarArchiveInputStream decompress a *tar.gz file. After decompressing, the memory cost of java process from 50Mb to almost 300Mb. And full gc cannot clear this part of memory. I use gdb to check context of this memoy block. it seemd like a buffer. It is out of the heap memory so gc cannot clear it. I cannot confirm if it is really memory leak. So, besides killing java process, how can I free this part of memory? was: i try to use TarArchiveInputStream decompress a *tar.gz file.
