There is a abrupt memory rise observed for a process on solaris.
When the process is started the memory is around 268 MB and is stable for a day. Then suddenly the memory increased to 4364 MB.
Below is the pmap -xs output for the process (only for heap)
Can anyone please help me in understanding the reason of sudden allocation of heap as huge as 4190208 (4 GB). What is the significance of empty RSS and Anon as observed for adress space
Trying to figure out what a process is doing just from how much memory it uses is like trying to figure out someone's personality via the bumps in their skull. It might be leaking memory if it's leaking memory, but might not be leaking memory if it's not. We really can't tell with this little information.
