java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space on 5.1.2

I formerly use 5.1.1 and encountered to this OOM, so I update to 5.1.2 it still happens.

That should not be surprising as OOM problems are rarely fixed by minor upgrades. Sounds like you might have to increase the heap or decrease the amount of data. If you supply additional details about your setup we can say more.

I agree in general. In this case there is one major stability change incorporated into 5.1.2 that should address some of the OOMs that we have been seeing.

Yes, this. A stack trace of where the OOM is coming from would be helpful to know whether or not what you're seeing should have been addressed by the aforementioned change.

Please show the stacktrace under what you just pasted. Namely the stacktrace that is under:

[2017-01-17T16:27:25,886][ERROR][o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler] [node-172.16.105.125] fatal error in thread [Thread-117], exiting
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

There's nothing under, and ES process went down.

That the node went down is not unexpected, but there should be a stack trace there (we print it first before shutting the node down).

I'm sure there's nothing below.

Then there is no information to be gleaned here.

But version 2 doesn't have this problem with the same amount of data.
