Dave Latham commented on HBASE-10089:
-------------------------------------
Removing the interning sounds reasonable to me.
[~mikhail] Any thoughts on the original purpose of the intern()?
> Metrics intern table names cause eventual permgen OOM in 0.94

> Key: HBASE-10089
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10089
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0, 0.94.14
> Reporter: Dave Latham
> Priority: Minor
>
> As part of the metrics system introduced in HBASE-4768 there are two places
> that hbase uses String interning ( SchemaConfigured and SchemaMetrics ).
> This includes interning table names. We have long running environment where
> we run regular integration tests on our application using hbase. Those tests
> create and drop tables with new names regularly. These leads to filling up
> the permgen with interned table names. Workaround is to periodically restart
> the region servers.
