XMemcached network layout exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory

Hello, We use memcached v2.4.6, and are currently getting the below error:

09-06-2020 09:36:34,934 ERROR MemcachedHandler:128 - XMemcached network layout exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory at java.nio.Bits.reserveMemory(Bits.java:694) at java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.(DirectByteBuffer.java:123) at java.nio.ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(ByteBuffer.java:311) at sun.nio.ch.Util.getTemporaryDirectBuffer(Util.java:241) at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.read(IOUtil.java:195) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.read(SocketChannelImpl.java:380) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.NioTCPSession.readFromBuffer(NioTCPSession.java:190) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.AbstractNioSession.onRead(AbstractNioSession.java:184) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.AbstractNioSession.onEvent(AbstractNioSession.java:324) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.SocketChannelController.dispatchReadEvent(SocketChannelController.java:54) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.NioController.onRead(NioController.java:150) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.Reactor.dispatchEvent(Reactor.java:310) at com.google.code.yanf4j.nio.impl.Reactor.run(Reactor.java:177)

I reckon this might be similar to the issue in raised here, but I will appreciate specific insights on how to address this problem for this type of OOME - Direct buffer memory. And yes, we do use the xmemcached client as a singleton instance.

Thank you

It seems that you may have too many connections ,every connection will keep an read direct buffer. You can increase the max direct buffer size or decrease the connection pool size.
