---------------------------------------
[~kturner] 3G java heap, 1G in-memory-map, the test code pre-split the table
into 256 tablets.
> out of memory error on very long running tablet server

>
> On a large cluster it was noticed that a few of the tablet servers had been
> pushed into swap. This didn't effect the performance of the server until it
> ran out of memory, and the process was killed. The gc reports in the debug
> log showed the system had plenty of heap space for the JVM. The number of
> threads in the server were not excessive (dozens). This cluster ingests some
> large values (megabytes). The tablet server had been up for a month prior to
> running out of memory. MALLOC_ARENA_MAX had already been set to 1.
> * Investigate the effect of fragmentation on memory usage for large value
> inserts.
