stack commented on HBASE-6728: ------------------------------ I looked at trunk. We have same issue. responseQueue is a LinkedList. We keep a count of entries but we do not put an upper bound on how many items we add. > [89-fb] prevent OOM possibility due to per connection responseQueue being > unbounded > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6728 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6728 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Kannan Muthukkaruppan > Assignee: Kannan Muthukkaruppan > > The per connection responseQueue is an unbounded queue. The request handler > threads today try to send the response in line, but if things start to > backup, the response is sent via a per connection responder thread. The > intermediate queue used in between has no bound either, and can be another > source of OOMs. > [Have not looked at this issue in trunk. So it may or may not be applicable > there.] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
