Kornel Pal commented on CASSANDRA-7573:
---------------------------------------
Sharing this in case it is helpful for others:
This same lz4 bug was identified as the root cause of a memory leak in an old
Cassandra version using OpenJDK 8 and Shenandoah GC.
Cassandra 1.2, 2.0, 2.1 seems to be affected. Older versions have no lz4
support, and newer version have this lz4 bug fixed.
Note that the memory leak was not shown by jmap but resulted in a crash with a
fastdebug JVM build that pointed to lz4.
Replacing lz4 with version 1.3.0 solved the issue as a stopgap measure until
Cassandra could be upgraded to a newer version that has lz4 1.3.0 included.

> A workaround is to avoid the JNI native compressor by changing
> LZ4Factory.fastestInstance() to LZ4Factory.fastestJavaInstance() in
> src/java/org/apache/cassandra/transport/FrameCompressor.java and
> src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/compress/LZ4Compressor.java
> I opened up an issue against lz4-java also at
