Description
Description
When using Badger, I've encountered a problem where there is a noticeable memory fluctuation approximately every few hours. As shown in the attached graph [insert graph link if applicable], the memory usage spikes at regular intervals, which may impact the performance and stability of the application using Badger.
Steps to Reproduce
Set up a Badger - based application with a workload that runs continuously.
Monitor the memory usage over time using a memory profiling tool (e.g., [mention the tool used]).
Observe that the memory usage will experience significant fluctuations every few hours.
Expected Behavior
Memory usage should remain stable or within a predictable range, without these periodic large - scale fluctuations, to ensure consistent application performance.
Actual Behavior
Memory usage shows sharp spikes at intervals of a few hours, causing potential instability in the application. This may lead to performance degradation, increased latency, or even application crashes under heavy load.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No source files, tests, entry points, profiling tool, workload, or usable graph link are identified. Start by reproducing the issue in a continuously running Badger-based application with Jaeger enabled and capture memory profiles; done means the periodic fluctuation is explained and a verified fix or narrowed cause is documented.
