Stmt_Cached grow beyond mysql-max_stmts_cache causing ProxySQL to crash

[KlausOvergaard]

We are using ProxySQL 1.4.1. The caching of Prepare statements seems to grow infinitely. Our mysql-max_stmts_cache is set to default 10.000, but Stmt_Cached and Stmt_Max_Stmt_id grow way beyond until all server memory is consumed (12 GB) and eventually ProxySQL crash.
Here is a screnshot of the memory consumption. The busier our servers are, the quicker the stmt cache grows: https://gyazo.com/358232ad78361532eb2131ba2e21c73c

Issue confirmed

In 1.4 the handling of prepared statements were rewritten to solve some design limitations.
The code responsible for Stmt_Cached and Stmt_Max_Stmt_id wasn't migrated tho.
Now should be fixed, and this is an example of an application generating a lot of unique PS:

Admin> SELECT * FROM stats_mysql_global WHERE variable_name LIKE '%stmt%' AND variable_value;

Hi Rene Anything we can do to clear the cache on prepared statements before the server runs out of memory ? When do you expect to release 1.4.4 ? Thanks for your support!

Hi @renecannao

This fix is not ported to 2.x, also the mysql-max_stmts_cache documentation is missing from
