Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Begin by investigating HugeGraph 1.5.0 with the RocksDB backend while creating graphs, inserting vertices and edges, and running queries; done means identifying the cause of the steadily increasing memory usage and documenting a reliable prevention or mitigation.

Your Question (问题描述)

Why does memory usage increase as HugeGraph is used in RocksDB mode? During this process, we created new graphs, inserted vertices and edges, and executed various queries. When memory usage approaches its limit, the HugeGraph service becomes unavailable or even crashes; how can this be prevented?
