keith-turner opened a new issue, #5235: URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/5235
**Describe the bug** The tablet server uses this [atomic long](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/fe22a33b23fe7a36b7febc8068deeaedcdd793d2/server/tserver/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/tserver/TabletServer.java#L389) to track the amount of data buffered in memory by current active writes. This counter is incremented and decremented as RPCs are made to write data to tablet servers. If a client does not make the full sequence of RPCs because the client died it may never decrement the counter. This could happen when a client process dies or if an error happens on the tablet server. **Expected behavior** This counter only reflects active writes and not possibly dead ones. Maybe another strategy is needed for this. **Additional context** It would be nice to create a test for this that causes the problem to happen, but this seems really hard to test as there is not way to know this internal state. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
