Answer

It looks like your process is almost out of memory:

eden space 7045440K, 100% used
object space 31457280K, 99% used

In this case GC may run continiosly, trying to free some memory, consuming alomist all CPU. So application logic thread is under heavy starvation. You may either add more memory via -Xmx JVM option or profile the application. Profiling via JVisualVM, Jprofiler or other tool will give you important runtime data:

Memory allocaton dynamics. If memory consumption is increasing all the time you're likely to have a memory leak
Heap contents to find out what occupies the momory
GC statistics

Based on this data you'll certanly be able to resolve the issue.

Question 2

I have a java process loading a lot of data from a bunch of .csv files into a Neo4j database using the BatchInserter. I was using:

OpenJDK 7
Ubuntu 12.04
Neo4j 2.0 M3

After loading the first 164 GB (according to ls -lh) the folder size stopped increasing but the process kept running, no memory was released, and CPU was still at 100% (all according to htop).

The loading process is single threaded, only the JVM is using more than 1 thread - I guess by the ParallelGC.

I'm not sure how to diagnose this type of problem but was instructed to try jstack, so have included its output below.

Anyone has an idea what went wrong or has suggestions on how I can go about diagnosing this?
