> Recently we have been suffering from a severe memory leak when executing intense open/close operations on IndexSearcher and IndexModifier. 
> Memory profiling showed that memory is being held by LocalDataStore[] objects.
> After some digging, the root of the problem has been found in CloseableThreadLocal class:
> private System.LocalDataStoreSlot t = System.Threading.Thread.AllocateDataSlot();
> What we see is that every instantiated object of CloseableThreadLocal causes new data slot allocation performed for every thread. 
> Thread.AllocateDataSlot() does not simply allocate a new slot, replacing an old one, but enlarging an existing buffer in-thread, appending data to the end of internal LocalDataStore[] collection, which  causes a severe memory leak .
> As long as "t" variable is instantiated on every object creation, and (in current class implementation) every object is used by a single thread, replacing "private System.LocalDataStoreSlot t = System.Threading.Thread.AllocateDataSlot();" with simple "private object dataSlot;" and removing "hardRefs" Dictionary solves the problem and prevents memory leak. 
> We have tried to implement the expected behavior by using [ThreadStatic] attribute instead of LocalDataStoreSlot, but the attempt failed because of unexpected exceptions being thrown.
> Patch can be found at Lucene.Net repository under
