------------------------------------------------
Thanks [~Apache9]
Yes in the above condition it is the admin connection that is actually closed()
but the Bytebuf created for that connection is not released. And reading the
code, you are right we cannot release the Bytebuf in shutdown() because there
the connection is put back to the pool for reusing it.
> RpcClient under heavy load leaks some netty bytebuf

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0

> Yet to analyse the actual root cause.
> But the case is that when we run a PE tool with 50 threads under heavy load
> when the writes are clogged I think we have some netty Bytebuf leak. Not sure
> if it is a serious issue but we get this log
> {code}

> util.ResourceLeakDetector: LEAK: ByteBuf.release() was not called before it's
> garbage-collected. Enable advanced leak reporting to find out where the leak
> occurred. To enable advanced leak reporting, specify the JVM option
> '-Dio.netty.leakDetection.level=advanced' or call
> ResourceLeakDetector.setLevel() See
> http://netty.io/wiki/reference-counted-objects.html for more information.
> {code}
> So reading the given link it is because of some ByteBuf that was not released
> properly by the client and hence it gets GCed automatically. Netty provides
> tips and tricks to find the root cause. Will get back here.
