gaojinchao commented on HBASE-4633:
-----------------------------------
This issue appears to be a configuration problem:
1. HBase client uses NIO(socket) API that uses the direct memory.
2. Default -XXMaxDirectMemorySize value is equal to -Xmx value, So if there
doesn't have "full gc", all direct memory can't reclaim. Unfortunately, using
GC confiugre parameter of our client doesn't produce any "full gc
> Potential memory leak in client RPC timeout mechanism

> 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
> Attachments: HBaseclientstack.png

> 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.
