Yin Huai commented on SPARK-17822:
----------------------------------
Basically, the problem that I have observed is a long running Spark driver runs
out of memory because JVMObjectTracker.objMap prevents objects that are not
used anymore from getting GCed. I am attaching a screenshot which shows the
objects inside the map.
> JVMObjectTracker.objMap may leak JVM objects

> JVMObjectTracker.objMap is used to track JVM objects for SparkR. However, we
> observed that JVM objects that are not used anymore are still trapped in this
> map, which prevents those object get GCed.
> Seems it makes sense to use weak reference (like persistentRdds in
> SparkContext).
