Hello,
I'm working on a Java servlet which uses Redis as it's data source. I initialize the pool on the servlet init and I am using try-with-resources to take the jedis resource. I am using nginx and 4 tomcat processes to split the load. When traffic peaks the tomcat processes start to consume memory heavily, until it reaches the max ram per process. All tomcat processes are connected to the same redis instance (I tried using master-slave, the same thing happened). The memory never gets released (I know this because, if I disable the traffic the tomcat processes never release the memory).
I tried changing the JedisConfigPool settings, but it did not help:
JedisPoolConfig config = new JedisPoolConfig();
config.setMaxTotal(5000);
config.setMaxWaitMillis(200l);
config.setBlockWhenExhausted(false);
The only thing that happend it started to generate lots of logs which previously did not appeared:

Probably it reached the redis connection limit and cannot connect anymore. I tried raising the maxclients to 100000 and also nofile for the redis user in /etc/security/limits.conf but it did not help.
I tried using jedis 2.6.0 and 2.5.1, the same thing happened.
Can someone help me solve this problem?
Thanks
Best,
Igor
