------------------------------------------
bq. I use gdb
Great.
Please provide more details about the method/variable that seems to eat up that
memory.
A unit test should also help track the issue...

> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.21
> Reporter: hao ying
> Priority: Major
>
> 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?
