Yejun Yang commented on HADOOP-12007:
-------------------------------------
If I understand HADOOP-10591 correctly, the code to return comprossor to
codecpool was never called. Because the close() method in
CompressionOutputStream.java is overrrided by CompressorStream.java.
> GzipCodec native CodecPool leaks memory

> Key: HADOOP-12007
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12007
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Reporter: Yejun Yang
>
> org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/GzipCodec.java call
> CompressionCodec.Util.createOutputStreamWithCodecPool to use CodecPool. But
> compressor objects are actually never returned to pool which cause memory
> leak.
> HADOOP-10591 uses CompressionOutputStream.close() to return Compressor object
> to pool. But CompressionCodec.Util.createOutputStreamWithCodecPool actually
> returns a CompressorStream which overrides close().
> This cause CodecPool.returnCompressor never being called. In my log file I
> can see lots of "Got brand-new compressor [.gz]" but no "Got recycled
> compressor".
