[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-30092) MonitoredRPCHandlerImpl.generateCallInfoMap() can OOM the RegionServer heartbeat path when an in-flight RPC request protobuf is large
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-30092?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18097514#comment-18097514 ]
mazhengxuan commented on HBASE-30092:
-------------------------------------
I would like to investigate this issue. I will check the MonitoredRPCHandlerImpl.generateCallInfoMap path and try to prepare a bounded fix to avoid excessive memory usage. If nobody is working on it, could I try to fix it?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: monitoring, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 2.6.5, 2.5.14
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
> Priority: Major

> A burst of large {{MultiRequest}} / {{ScanRequest}} RPCs on a RegionServer with a tight heap crashed the JVM with {{OutOfMemoryError}} from the periodic RegionServer-to-HMaster heartbeat path. The offending allocation is inside {{MonitoredRPCHandlerImpl.generateCallInfoMap()}}, which calls {{AbstractMessage.toString()}} on the live in-flight RPC request protobuf. {{TextFormat$Printer}} recursively appends to a {{StringBuilder}} that has to grow past available heap.

> {{tryRegionServerReport}} runs on the main RegionServer thread at {{hbase.regionserver.msginterval}} (default 3 s). An OOM there terminates the JVM under {{-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError}}, or aborts the heartbeat otherwise. On a heap sized close to the working set, a brief write slowdown that causes handlers to back up is enough to grow per-handler scanner retention and push {{generateCallInfoMap()}} over the edge. Auto-replacement by an external pool manager doesn't break the loop — each replacement RS inherits the same client traffic and crashes again within 15–60 seconds of registering.
