> The problem manifested from stress-testing HCatalog 0.4.1 (as part of testing the Oracle backend).
> The HCatalog server ran out of memory (-Xmx2048m) when pounded by 60-threads, in under 24 hours. The heap-dump indicates that hadoop::FileSystem.CACHE had 1000000 instances of FileSystem, whose combined retained-mem consumed the entire heap.
> It boiled down to hadoop::UserGroupInformation::equals() being implemented such that the "Subject" member is compared for equality ("=="), and not equivalence (".equals()"). This causes equivalent UGI instances to compare as unequal, and causes a new FileSystem instance to be created and cached.
> The UGI.equals() is so implemented, incidentally, as a fix for yet another problem (HADOOP-6670); so it is unlikely that that implementation can be modified.
> The solution for this is to check for UGI equivalence in HCatalog (i.e. in the Hive metastore), using an cache for UGI instances in the shims.
> I have a patch to fix this. I'll upload it shortly. I just ran an overnight test to confirm that the memory-leak has been arrested.
