in one of my node, I found many hprof files in the cassandra installation
directory, they are using as much as 200GB disk space.  other nodes didn't
have those files.

turns out that those files are used for memory analyzing, not sure how they
are generated?


like these:

java_pid10626.hprof  java_pid13898.hprof  java_pid17061.hprof
 java_pid21002.hprof  java_pid23194.hprof  java_pid29241.hprof
 java_pid5013.hprof
