Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-13749: -------------------------------------- perhaps in the HiveMetaStore.shutdown() we clear the cache for the current UGI. Make sense? Could you please review the patch when you have a chance ? I have had the customer disable the FileSystem caching by adding {{fs.hdfs.impl.disable.cache=true}} to the HMS configuration, the re-run the workloads. The same site that had 66000+ Configuration instances in their heapdump now has 80 instances and none of them are in Cache. So it is clear that the FileSystem.CACHE is the problem.
