Additional Notes
What usually causes a Metaspace problem?
Track: Java
Topic: Memory Management
Focus: Metaspace
Java: Metaspace
Answer
Excess class metadata growth, often from generated classes or ClassLoader leaks.
Metaspace stores class metadata outside the heap. Framework-heavy systems that generate many proxies or leak ClassLoaders can exhaust Metaspace even when ordinary heap objects are not the issue.
