Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/940 The interesting thing that we found was that guava seems to be doing poorly when the # of items in the cache gets large. When we scaled the test down (830 distinct IP addresses chosen randomly and sent in at a rate of 200k events per second with a cache size of 100) kept up but scaling the test up (300k distinct ip addresses chosen randomly and sent in at a rate of 200k events per second with a cache size of 100k) didn't.
