@ijuma Thanks for pointing that out. I never noticed any effects of the OOMEs on the persistent JVM or other tests, but if I'm trying to de-flake the tests, introducing a new kind of flakiness that's even harder to debug is certainly not a good idea. I've taken the high memory-pressure tests that I know of, and moved them from the `test` target to a new `memoryIsolationTest` target. This target will run the test classes in throw-away JVMs, so that any effects of the OOMEs will only affect that single run of that single test class. This means that these specific tests (three once i'm finished) will no longer be run as part of `test`, but will still be executed by CI builders. I hope that this is an acceptable compromise, and will allow us to keep these memory pressure tests around. Thanks! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
