["Antoine Brochard (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3008?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Antoine Brochard updated JCR-3008:
----------------------------------

    Affects Version/s: 2.2.4
                       2.2.5
                       2.2.7

Looking at the code this should also apply at least to 2.2.4, 2.2.5 , 2.2.7

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3008
>             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jackrabbit-core, transactions
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.7
>         Environment:  jdk 1.6.0_24
>            Reporter: Antoine Brochard
>              Labels: memory, memory_leak, perfomance

> I observed that sometimes when working on large write operations, instances of  TransactionContext stay referenced by an instance of  java.util.TaskQueue
> I may be wrong but
> In TransactionContext.prepare() the rollback task is scheduled :
>   timer.schedule(this, timeout * 1000, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
> Then in java.util.Timer:  
>  - if the rollback task has not been cancelled yet ( for example if a large commit is in progress ) when the TimerThread get to work on it 
>  - and the timeout expired ( executionTime<currentTime) 
> then since the period is set to  Integer.MaxValue, and other tasks are in the same queue, the next time the task is examined and removed from the queue may be in several days !!
> If my analysis is correct I have several proposals
> - the period parameter could be omitted when calling the schedule method
> - a call to Timer.purge() could be made after cancelling the task
> hope this helps
