It's not useful here: if you have a memory issue, it's when your using the list, not when you have finished with it and set it to null. You need to monitor the memory consumption of the jvm, both the client & the server. Google around these keywords, there are many examples on the web. Google as well arrayList initialization.
Note as well that the important is not the memory size of the structure on disk but the size of the" List<Put> puts = new ArrayList<Put>();" before the table put.
