[jira] Created: (HBASE-3603) Remove -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError autodump of heap option on OOME

Remove  -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError  autodump of heap option on OOME
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-3603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3603
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: stack
            Priority: Minor


By default the  -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError  option is set for HBase.  Means we'll dump heap when we OOME.  In the heaps we run with 8G, 16G, etc., these can make for hefty files.  No one really looks at these things other than a few weirdos and even then, the interesting ones are too big to ship easily.  Meantime, they can cause headache.  E.g. you are on EC2, root is but a small partition, and you set up hbase on root partition... a heap dump could cause your root partition to fill and make the machine unapproachable.

Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-3603:
--------------------------------------------

We're one of those wierdos, can we add this feature back in, but comment it out?  I think it's good to have a recommended list of optional features to play with and then explain why they're disabled for the common use case.
