Info
When few queries process many documents (for example, full collection scan),
MongoDB allocate and deallocate too much memory. So after few full scan query, free memory of linux is decreased and eventually linux use swap space.
Take a look at the attached graph.
And this case happen very often. I think you can reproduce this case easily.

Hi Mark.
I have seen this case in quite a while, so diagnostics data is gone.
So I have tried to reproduce it but I can't. I will get back again with diagnostics data when I see similar case.
Thanks.

Hello matt.lee,
Thank you for the report. To better understand what may be causing the memory usage, could you please archive and upload the $dbPath/diagnostic.data directory and attach it to this ticket? This should give us a better idea of what may be using the memory.
Thanks,
Mark
Steps to Reproduce
1) Insert 50000000 documents in the test collection.
2) Query all documents with several client threads
3) Check linux memory usage
