Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-14922:
-----------------------------------------
I've investigated this one a bit further, but to be honest could not find any
proof of leaks. I've also tried to make shutdown process more synchronous to
reduce amount of in-flight memory, but this hasn't helped. I did also check the
possible native memory leak. You are right there native byte buffer instances
hanging after instance shutdown, but all of them as far as I can tell were
pending finalization (see !Screen Shot 2019-01-30 at 15.47.13!).
I've tried running tests in non-constrained environment in loop
[here|https://circleci.com/gh/ifesdjeen/cassandra/1197], and it seems to be
passing fine after 10x100 runs.
I made a small follow-up patch (however, these improvements are minor and do
not have any impact on the end result)
[here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/trunk...ifesdjeen:oom-improvements].
In this patch I also disable in-jvm dtests for resource constrained
environment.
If this looks ok, I suggest we do that and merge [~benedict]'s multi-version
patch and continue writing tests.

> because we use a small container (medium) for unit tests by default and the
> in JVM dtests are leaking a few hundred megabytes of memory per test right
> now. This is not a big deal because the dtest runs with the larger containers
> continue to function fine as well as local testing as the number of in JVM

> available heap. However we should fix the memory leak so that going forwards
> we can add more in JVM dtests without worry.
> I've been working with [~ifesdjeen] to debug, and the issue appears to be

> method is not successfully cleaning up all the metrics created by the

> 2. The

> method is not waiting for all the instances to finish shutting down and
> cleaning up before continuing on
> 3. I'm not sure if this is an issue assuming we clear all metrics, but
> [{{TableMetrics::release}}|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/4ae229f5cd270c2b43475b3f752a7b228de260ea/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/metrics/TableMetrics.java#L951]
> does not release all the metric references (which could leak them)
> I am working on a patch which shuts down everything and assures that we do
