             Summary: Metadata Datasets are Evicted on Low Memory
                 Key: ASTERIXDB-1338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1338
             Project: Apache AsterixDB
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Murtadha Hubail
            Assignee: Murtadha Hubail
            Priority: Critical


When many datasets are created and we need to evict unused ones from memory to 
allocate their space for the newly created ones, metadata datasets are selected 
as candidates for eviction. Once they are evicted, the system becomes unusable. 
This is because of of the special treatment of metadata indexes since they are 
registered only once during metadata bootstrap.

To reproduce the issue, just create many datasets and insert a record in them 
to force their memory to be allocated. Eventually, the metadata datasets will 
be evicted and the instance will be unusable.
