Trigger RocksDB compaction** — This releases off-heap native memory pinned by obsolete SSTables after deletions or graph drops: ```bash PUT http://{IP}:{PORT}/graphspaces/{graphspace}/graphs/{graph}/compact ``` [[1]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-api/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/api/profile/GraphsAPI.java#L320-L335) **2. Delete accumulated task results** — Completed task results (`~task`/`~taskresult` vertices) are never automatically cleaned up and accumulate in the backend, consuming both heap and storage. Periodically delete completed/failed tasks via: ```bash DELETE http://{IP}:{PORT}/graphspaces/{graphspace}/graphs/{graph}/tasks/{task_id} ``` This is especially important for tasks with large result sets. [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/issues/3059#issuecomment-4679589186) **3. Force JVM GC via `jcmd`** — You can trigger a garbage collection on the running process from the OS: ```bash jcmd <PID> GC.run ``` Note: this only reclaims JVM heap garbage — it has no effect on RocksDB's off-heap native memory. **4. Tune RocksDB memory settings** — Reducing the configured limits takes effect as current memtables flush, without a restart [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/issues/3059#issuecomment-4679589186): | Setting | Default | Action | |---------|---------|--------| | `rocksdb.total_memory_size` | 48GB | Reduce to match your actual available off-heap budget | | `rocksdb.max_write_buffer_number` | 6 | Reduce to 3-4 to limit memtable memory | | `rocksdb.write_buffer_size` | 128MB | Reduce if memory constrained | **Important context:** Most memory growth in RocksDB mode is off-heap native memory (memtables, block cache), which is completely invisible to JVM GC [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/issues/3059#issuecomment-4679589186). There is no dedicated cache-flush API endpoint exposed — the internal `CacheManager.clearCache()` method exists [[3]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/cache/CacheManager.java#L154-L156) but is only triggered as a side effect of operations like truncation, not through a standalone REST call. If memory fragmentation is a recurring issue, switching to **jemalloc** via `LD_PRELOAD` is often the single most impactful fix for the "memory never gets reclaimed" symptom [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/issues/3059#issuecomment-4679589186). <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fhugegraph>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
