stack commented on PHOENIX-2405:
--------------------------------
bq. Thanks stack, how about fallback to Mnemonic only if OutOfMemoryError
occurred ?
Triggering on an OOME seems a bit dodgy. Could trap on 'OutOfMemoryError: Map
failed' but would have to read the code to ensure no other damaging
'side-effects'. OOME is post-Full-GC too, no? Would be good if could avoid a
Full GC as trigger.
Better if we were just all mnemonic, all the time (caveat good perf, etc). Just
trying to learn what build and runtime need to look like if mnemonic route.
Thanks.

> We currently use memory mapped files to buffer data as it's being sorted in
> an ORDER BY (see MappedByteBufferQueue). The following types of exceptions
> have been seen to occur:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Map failed
> at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method)
> at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:904)
> {code}
> [~apurtell] has read that memory mapped files are not cleaned up after very
> well in Java:
> {quote}
> "Map failed" means the JVM ran out of virtual address space. If you search
> around stack overflow for suggestions on what to do when your app (in this
> case Phoenix) encounters this issue when using mapped buffers, the answers
> tend toward manually cleaning up the mapped buffers or explicitly triggering
> a full GC. See
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8553158/prevent-outofmemory-when-using-java-nio-mappedbytebuffer
> for example. There are apparently long standing JVM/JRE problems with
> reclamation of mapped buffers. I think we may want to explore in Phoenix a
> different way to achieve what the current code is doing.
> {quote}
> Instead of using memory mapped files, we could use heap memory, or perhaps
> there are other mechanisms too.
