> for GROUP BY case, we try to keep the data in memory but if we exceed the
> total memory given for global cache(phoenix.query.maxGlobalMemorySize), then
> we start spilling the data to the disk. We spill and map them with
> MappedByteBuffer and add bloom filter so that they can be accessed faster.
> MappedByteBuffer doesn't release memory immediately on close(), GC needs to
> collect them when it find such buffers with no references. Though, we are
> closing the channel and file properly and deleting the file at the end, it's
> possible that GCs has not run for a while and this map count is increasing.
> PFB, parent ticket talking about the memory leak with the FileChannel.map()
> function.

> And ,related ticket

> But now the problems is that we are keeping page size of 4KB only for each
> mmap, which seems to be very small. I don't know the rationale behind keeping
> it so low, may be for performance to get a single key all the time but it can
> result in multiple mmap for even small file , so we can thought of keeping it
> as 64KB page size or more as default but we need to see the impact on
> performance.
> Workaround to mask the issue, increasing the
> phoenix.query.maxGlobalMemorySize and increasing vm.max_map_count is a
> solution for get going
> thanks [~rmaruthiyodan] for reducing the territory of the problem by
> analyzing VM hostspot error file and detecting the increase in mmap count
> during GroupBy queries.
