We've got a ZooKeeper instance that's using about 5 GB of resident memory. Every time we restart it, it starts at 200MB, and then grows slowly until it is back at 5 GB.
The large footprint is related to how much data we've got in there. What's interesting, though, is that the process size doesn't shrink if we purge some of the data. Now, this isn't a big problem, I'm just curious if the process will fall over at some point if it can't get more memory or if it'll just make due by caching less data. Also, if I remember correctly, there's a configuration variable to set the maximum size, what happens if ZK reaches that? -- -- Mike Mike Schilli [email protected]
