             Summary: PartitionSenderRootExec can leak memory because close method is not synchronized
                 Key: DRILL-6125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6125
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Timothy Farkas
            Assignee: Timothy Farkas


PartitionSenderRootExec creates a PartitionerDecorator and saves it in the *partitioner* field. The creation of the partitioner happens in the createPartitioner method. This method get's called by the main fragment thread. The partitioner field is accessed by the fragment thread during normal execution but it can also be accessed by the receivingFragmentFinished method which is a callback executed by the event processor thread. Because multiple threads can access the partitioner field synchronization is done on creation and on when receivingFragmentFinished. However, the close method can also be called by the event processor thread, and the close method does not synchronize before accessing the partitioner field. Since synchronization is not done the event processor thread may have an old reference to the partitioner when a query cancellation is done. Since it has an old reference the current partitioner can may not be cleared and a memory leak may occur.
