[java] "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : unable to create new native Thread"

I had this same issue and it turned out to be an improper usage of an java API. I was initializing a builder in a batch processing method that was that not supposed to be initiallized more than once.

Basically I was doing something like:

for (batch in batches) {
    process_batch(batch)
}

def process_batch(batch) {
    var client = TransportClient.builder().build()
    client.processList(batch)
}

when I should have done this:

for (batch in batches) {
    var client = TransportClient.builder().build()
    process_batch(batch, client)
}

def process_batch(batch, client) {
    client.processList(batch)
}
