Description

A regression in heap memory utilization was introduced in message validation functionality implemented as part of QPID-8273. The message metadata is loaded into heap for message validation and continue to remain in heap until message is consumed. The flow to disk functionality does not clean metadata objects as message is not considered as being resided in memory.

The issue can be mitigated by increasing heap size.
