    Description

      The spilled buffers come from the io mgr but it seems that the io mgr is accumulating them when they are freed. We should be capping the maximum number of free buffers but that doesn't seem to be working according to the metrics:

      impala-server.io-mgr.num-unused-buffers:808 (cap is 128).

      The buffers do get cleaned up completely if there is memory pressure but this will make it appear that impala uses a lot of memory even when idle. Users have complained about this.
