> This bugs affects fuse-dfs severely. In my test, about 1GB memory were
> exhausted and the fuse-dfs mount directory was disconnected after writing
> 14000 files. This bug is related to the memory leak problem of this issue:
> http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-420.
> The bug can be fixed very easily. In function hdfsFreeFileInfo() in file
> hdfs.c (under c++/libhdfs/) change code block:
> //Free the mName
> int i;
> for (i=0; i < numEntries; ++i) {
> if (hdfsFileInfo[i].mName) {
> free(hdfsFileInfo[i].mName);
> }
> }
> into:
> // free mName, mOwner and mGroup
> int i;
> for (i=0; i < numEntries; ++i) {
> if (hdfsFileInfo[i].mName) {
> free(hdfsFileInfo[i].mName);
> }
> if (hdfsFileInfo[i].mOwner){
> free(hdfsFileInfo[i].mOwner);
> }
> if (hdfsFileInfo[i].mGroup){
> free(hdfsFileInfo[i].mGroup);
> }
> }
> I am new to Jira and haven't figured out a way to generate .patch file yet.
> Could anyone help me do that so that others can commit the changes into the
> code base. Thanks!
