-------------------------------------
> Store Mapfile indexes in soft references
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-513
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-513
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Major
>
> One of the potentially big consumers of memory in the region server is the
> mapfile indexes we keep cached for fast access. Rather than building a
> complex system to try and LRU them ourself, we should use some form of
> SoftReference or derivative to keep the index around. That way, when our
> server gets near its memory limit, those indexes will be cleaned up
> automatically, making room.
> We would also have to code our accesses of Mapfile in such a way that if a
> index had been garbage collected, we were able to fetch it again from disk
> with a minimum of trouble.
