Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-9861:
-----------------------------------------

There's {{org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar#getPid}} to get the process ID.
Maybe we should use {{jmap}} from {{System.getProperty("java.home") + "/bin/jmap"}} (resp. {{jmap.exe}}) and only use {{map}}/{{jmap.exe}} as a fallback.

> CASSANDRA-7507 introduced earlier termination on encountering an OOM, due to lack of certainty about system state. However a side effect is that we never produce heap dumps on OOM. We should ideally try to produce one forcibly before exiting.
