Mikhail Bautin commented on HBASE-5387: --------------------------------------- The BAOS in question only exists during the lifetime of the writer, and will be deallocated when flush or compaction is complete. > Reuse compression streams in HFileBlock.Writer > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5387 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5387 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Mikhail Bautin > Assignee: Mikhail Bautin > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.94.0 > > Attachments: D1719.1.patch, > Fix-deflater-leak-2012-02-10_18_48_45.patch > > > We need to to reuse compression streams in HFileBlock.Writer instead of > allocating them every time. The motivation is that when using Java's built-in > implementation of Gzip, we allocate a new GZIPOutputStream object and an > associated native data structure every time we create a compression stream. > The native data structure is only deallocated in the finalizer. This is one > suspected cause of recent TestHFileBlock failures on Hadoop QA: > https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2658/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile/TestHFileBlock/testPreviousOffset_1_/. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
