Remove -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError autodump of heap option on OOME
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3603
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: stack
Priority: Minor
By default the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option is set for HBase.
Means we'll dump heap when we OOME. In the heaps we run with 8G, 16G, etc.,
these can make for hefty files. No one really looks at these things other than
a few weirdos and even then, the interesting ones are too big to ship easily.
Meantime, they can cause headache. E.g. you are on EC2, root is but a small
partition, and you set up hbase on root partition... a heap dump could cause
your root partition to fill and make the machine unapproachable.
