Java application causes native memory leak
Issue
- We are seeing at the OS level a slow memory leak over time.
- The heap utilization stays at 4GB yet the physical memory use will rise from 4GB to 10GB over the course of the week.
- The JVM size is growing large enough that it is killed by OOM killer.
- The Java process size is much larger than expected.
Environment
