Thanks Aaron and Ravi for stepping in. We are working on that direction to go to the bottom. The recent fixes may take care of this. We will update if we find anything. Regards,Mohammad

That's fixed now, and in addition to HDFS-8964 should fully address that issue. -- Aaron T.

Could you please take a heap dump of the NN and analyze it to see where the memory is being spent?

Looks like it creates a lot of memory pressure on NN. Memory usage goes very high and remains the same causing expensive GC. Did anyone use this feature in any service? Is there any con to setup? We are using latest CDH. Regards,Mohammad
