Pierre Villard commented on NIFI-8435:
--------------------------------------
[~jzahner] - can you share the configuration of your processor? Are you using
multiple concurrent tasks? what's your configuration in terms of properties?
Anything you can share would be useful as I've not been able to reproduce the
issue after some attempts.
> PutKudu 1.13.2 Memory Leak
> --------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-8435
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8435
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.13.2
> Environment: NiFi 1.13.2, 8-Node Cluster running on CentOS 7, Kudu
> 1.10.0
> Reporter: Josef Zahner
> Assignee: Peter Gyori
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: kudu, nifi, oom
> Attachments: grafana_heap_overview.png,

> We just upgraded from NiFi 1.11.4 to 1.13.2 and faced a huge issue with
> PutKudu.
> PutKudu on the 1.13.2 eats up all the heap memory and garbage collection
> can't anymore free up the memory. We allow Java to use 31GB memory and as you
> can see with NiFi 1.11.4 it will be used like it should with GC. However with
> NiFi 1.13.2 with our actual load it fills up the memory relatively fast.
> Manual GC via visualvm tool didn't help at all to free up memory.
> !grafana_heap_overview.png!
>
> Visual VM shows the following culprit: !visualvm_total_bytes_used.png!
> !visualvm_bytes_detail_view.png!
> The bytes array shows millions of char data which isn't cleaned up. In fact
> here 14,9GB memory (heapdump has been taken after a while of full load). If
> we check the same on NiFi 1.11.4, the bytes array is nearly empty, around a
> few hundred MBs.
> As you could imagine we can't upload the heap dump as currently we have only
> productive data on the system. But don't hesitate to ask questions about the
> heapdump if you need more information.
> I haven't done any screenshot of the processor config, but I can do that if
> you wish (we are back to NiFi 1.11.4 at the moment).
