Asaf Mesika commented on HBASE-4633:
------------------------------------
If running with -Xmx6GB our application running HBase Client, then we are
witnessing process resident memory increasing to 10GB. When placing
-X:MaxDirectMemorySize=2g, we're seeing WARN OutOfMemoryException, but no error
since the client has 10 retries. Our next step is to run it with profiler to
diagnose why so much direct memory is used. Want to make sure its HBaseClient
code and not some other third party lib we're using (although we're pretty sure
its the only one calling ByteBuffer.allocateDirect transitively).

> Key: HBASE-4633
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4633
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 0.90.3
> Environment: HBase version: 0.90.3 + Patches , Hadoop version: CDH3u0
> Reporter: Shrijeet Paliwal

> Relevant Jiras: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2937,
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4003
> We have been using the 'hbase.client.operation.timeout' knob
> introduced in 2937 for quite some time now. It helps us enforce SLA.
> We have two HBase clusters and two HBase client clusters. One of them
> is much busier than the other.
> We have seen a deterministic behavior of clients running in busy
> cluster. Their (client's) memory footprint increases consistently
> after they have been up for roughly 24 hours.
> This memory footprint almost doubles from its usual value (usual case
> == RPC timeout disabled). After much investigation nothing concrete
> came out and we had to put a hack
> which keep heap size in control even when RPC timeout is enabled. Also
> note , the same behavior is not observed in 'not so busy
> cluster.
