-------------------------------
Summary: Investigate alternative malloc's for mesos (was: Investigate
jemalloc as a possible malloc for mesos)
> Investigate alternative malloc's for mesos
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-7876
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7876
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benno Evers
> Assignee: Benno Evers
>
> It is currently very hard to debug memory issues, in particular memory leaks,
> in mesos.
> An alluring way to improve the situation would be to change the default
> malloc to jemalloc, which has built-in heap-tracking capabilities.
> However, some care needs to be taken when considering to change such a
> fundamental part of mesos:
> * Would such a switch have any adverse impact on performance?
> * Is it available and will it compile on all our target platforms?
> * Is the jemalloc-licensing compatible with bundling as third-party library?
