Too easy to OOME a RS
---------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2506
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2506
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
             Fix For: 0.20.5, 0.21.0


Testing a cluster with 1GB heap, I found that we are letting the region servers kill themselves too easily when scanning using pre-fetching. To reproduce, get 10-20M rows using PE and run a count in the shell using CACHE => 30000 or any other very high number. For good measure, here's the stack trace:

{code}

I guess the same could happen with largish write buffers. We need something better than OOME.
