Description

test_jvm_mem_tracking is failing and causing the impalad to abort/crash early during startup.  Minidump is attached.

The test starts impala with the following arguments:

start-impala-cluster.py '--state_store_args=--statestore_update_frequency_ms=50 --statestore_priority_update_frequency_ms=50 --statestore_heartbeat_frequency_ms=50' --cluster_size=1 --num_coordinators=1 --log_dir=/data/jenkins/workspace/impala-asf-master-exhaustive/repos/Impala/logs/custom_cluster_tests --log_level=1 '--impalad_args=--mem_limit_includes_jvm=true --codegen_cache_capacity=0 ' '--state_store_args=None ' --jvm_args=-Xmx1g --impalad_args=–default_query_options=

This test is unusual in setting --mem_limit_includes_jvm=true in the startup flags, so it seems likely the failure is related to use of this flag.  There was also recent change to the Java startup options in IMPALA-11260 (to "add add-opens to JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS on startup") that could be related.
