------------------------------------------------------------------
[~paulo], your suggestion makes sense. The synthetic heap OOM assumes users run
cassandra with the on OOM flags. So it is reasonable to check the existence of
the related options. I started a separate ticket: CASSANDRA-17227.
Would the JVM result into a worse state due to the synthetic heap OOM? Probably
not. The (actual) OOM happened and the JVM is in a bad state already.

> Netty (at least, and perhaps elsewhere in Executors) catches all exceptions,
> so presently there is no way to ensure that an OOM reaches the JVM handler to
> trigger a crash/heapdump.
> It may be that the simplest most consistent way to do this would be to have a
> single thread spawned at startup that waits for any exceptions we must
> propagate to the Runtime.
> We could probably submit a patch upstream to Netty, but for a guaranteed
> future proof approach, it may be worth paying the cost of a single thread.
