Hi,  
I'm experiencing pretty bad java memory problem that keeps growing and  
growing.  
I run jmap histo:live and always see these 2 classes keep growing (I expect  
they go down since jmap hist:live does full gc):  
1: 9647519 463080912  
org.elasticsearch.common.cache.LocalCache$StrongAccessEntry  
5: 9647202 154355232  
org.elasticsearch.common.cache.LocalCache$StrongValueReference

And my elasticsearch.yml looks like this:  
index.cache.field.type: soft  
#index.cache.field.max\_size: 100000  
indices.cache.filter.size: 300mb

My ES JVM is set to 2GB Xmx and Xms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm seeing this same issue. Did you find a solution?

Thanks
