Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-26812:
---------------------------------------
Thanks [~comnetwork].
Getting the user showed up the profiler, but that might have just obscured the
actual problem you mentioned.
PHOENIX-6671 is a one-liner that I can easily undo locally and I'm happy to
test an HBase fix here.
(And apologies that I don't have much time to fix the HBase problem myself. I
used to be much more active in the HBase community. :( )

> Key: HBASE-26812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26812
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.9
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
> Priority: Critical
>
> Just ran into this on the Phoenix side.
> We retrieve a Connection via
> {{{}RegionCoprocessorEnvironment.createConnection... getTable(...){}}}. And
> then call get on that table. The Get's key happens to be local. Now each call
> to table.get() leaves an open StoreScanner around forever. (verified with a
> memory profiler).
> There references are held via
> RegionScannerImpl.storeHeap.scannersForDelayedClose. Eventially the
> RegionServer goes into a GC of death and can only ended with kill -9.
> The reason appears to be that in this case there is no currentCall context.
> Some time in 2.x the Rpc handler/call was made responsible for closing open
> region scanners, but we forgot to handle {{ShortCircuitingClusterConnection}}
> It's not immediately clear how to fix this. But it does make
> ShortCircuitingClusterConnection useless and dangerous. If you use it, you
> *will* create a giant memory leak.
