Hello. I have been having memory leaks while using Janusgraph and found that there were a few places that I was not explicitly closing transactions and thought that might be the culprit. I am now closing all transactions explicitly but still find that I get out of memory errors. Someone suggested to me to go look at my cassandra database txlog table to see if there are any stray transactions there. I see 14 rows in that table. Before I go and mess with that table I would like to understand what it is for and what the rows inside it indicate. Are they always indicative of stale transactions?

I have done some local tests and did a whole bunch of queries where I closed the transactions and never saw anything pop up in this table. then I did a whole bunch of queries where I didn't close the transaction and one row appeared in this table. 

Can someone please explain what is going on here?

We've had another post about memory leaks just the other day, here: https://lists.lfaidata.foundation/g/janusgraph-users/message/5544
Do you think what you encountered is a duplicate of that problem or is it something different?
