Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-11818:
------------------------------------------
Hm - one thing that I noted, is how Java handles failed direct memory
allocations in {{java.nio.Bits#reserveMemory}}: It first tries an "optimistic"
{{tryReserveMemory}} and exits immediately on success. However, if that somehow
doesn't succeed, it triggers a {{System.gc()}}, which is bad IMO (however, kind
of how direct buffers work in Java). After that GC it sleeps and tries to
reserve the memory up to 9 times - up to 511 ms - and then throws
{{OutOfMemoryError("Direct buffer memory")}}. I've opened CASSANDRA-11870 to
think about that.

> I can reproduce this scenario at will. Managed to get histogram, stack traces
> and heap dump. Already increased {{-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize}} to {{2g}}.
> A {{nodetool flush}} causes the daemon to exit (as that direct-memory OOM is
> caught by {{JVMStabilityInspector}}).
