JVM memory leak??

[Howard White]

All,

Just a hunch. And this may well have been addressed ages ago, hence my
post here. We keep servers going a long time between reboots and even
longer between software upgrades. Our current "java -version" is 1.8.0_102.

Said system was up over a year without restart and the swap space filled
up. I have subsequently learned how to push swap pages back to real
memory but that does not take away from the fact that the number of
memory pages consumed by jvm continues to grow ever so slowly.

Am I observing a memory leak or is Java just that much of a pig? (not
that I have an opinion on that matter...)

While yes, there might be a memory leak it seems far more likely the application running is making bad decisions about keeping pointers to dead data around.
