Guozhang Wang updated KAFKA-3735: --------------------------------- Description: The RocksDB JNI interface {{RocksObject}} has a dispose() function which need to be explicitly triggered after it is not reused, otherwise GC may not be able to de-reference it off-heap and hence effective lead to memory leak. See: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/752#issuecomment-146511412 We need to make sure all library-controlled RocksDB objects are disposed after usage, and also indicate users to {{close}} those out-of-control objects. Note that RocksDB community is also going to replace the {{dispose}} API by extending {{AutoClosable}} in the future, so this ticket may need to be re-visited when upgrade RocksDB versions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/permalink/870848569680325/ was: The RocksDB JNI interface {{RocksObject}} has a dispose() function which need to be explicitly triggered after it is not reused, otherwise GC may not be able to de-reference it off-heap and hence effective lead to memory leak.
