> We generally work a rule of 1GB heap on a datanode per 1M blocks. For nodes
> with a lot of blocks, this can mean a lot of heap.
> We recently captured a heapdump of a DN with about 22M blocks and found only
> about 1.5GB was occupied by the ReplicaMap. Another 9GB of the heap is taken
> by the DirectoryScanner ScanInfo objects. Most of this memory was alloated to
> strings.
> Checking the strings in question, we can see two strings per scanInfo,
> looking like:
> {code}
> /current/BP-671271071-10.163.205.13-1552020401842/current/finalized/subdir28/subdir17/blk_1180438785
> _106716708.meta
> {code}
> I will update a screen shot from MAT showing this.
> For the first string especially, the part
> "/current/BP-671271071-10.163.205.13-1552020401842/current/finalized/" will
> be the same for every block in the block pool as the scanner is only
> concerned about finalized blocks.
> We can probably also store just the subdir indexes "28" and "27" rather than
> "subdir28/subdir17" and then construct the path when it is requested via the
> getter.
