ES heap size slowly but surely increasing

Hi

I upgraded to 1.2.1 and set memory options to 2GB. Two weeks have passed
now and every day I have been checking heap memory level with Bigdesk.

At first I was not sure, but now it is clearly increasing little by little.
One day after I restarted ES it grew to approximately 1.3 GB of used Heap
Memory, and now we are at 1.6GB, which make me guess it is leaking around
150 Mo Heap Memory a week.

I am the only one experiencing such problem? And do you know what could
cause it?

Best,

Aldian

Yes I am, but... This data should be stored somewhere on the disk, right?

Yes, but there is still overhead that the cluster needs to store in memory,
the metadata about the data.

It's entirely normal for ES (or any Java program) to use 75-80% of the heap
during normal operation. The Garbage Collector will take care of things,
and is typically a bit "lazy" about cleaning up.
