2242507 - HANA out of memory problem while using Smart Data Access

Symptom
You are using HANA Smart Data Access to fetch a large amount of data form a remote database and to process them within the HANA database. You are on HANA DB revision 85.02 or lower. During the processing of the data from the remote database, the used memory of HANA is continously rising and the memory is not released back afterwards. In the end, you run into an out of memory problem. The memory allocator pool/itab which includes temporary column store results is consuming most of the memory.


Environment
You are using HANA database on revision 85.02 or lower. You are also using HANA Smart Data Access.


Reproducing the Issue
The issue can be frequently seen while using Smart Data Access to fetch a large amount of remote data which are processed in the HANA database.


Cause
The issue is due to a memory leak problem which is existing on HANA revision 85.02 or lower. The problem has been solved since HANA revision 91 and the resolution has also been backported to HANA maintenance revision 85.03.


Resolution
The problem has been solved since HANA revision 91 and the resolution has also been backported to HANA maintenance revision 85.03. Please upgrade your database to revision 85.03 or higher.
