> Hi
> I'm seeing a memory leak in my application which makes use of service discovery.
> I've taken heap dumps and I see:
> * Hundreds of thousands of NamespaceWatcher instances. The client, actualWatcher and curatorWatcher fields are all null, so these are closed NamespaceWatchers.
> * Thousands of PathChildrenCache instances. Each one has a 'path' value that refers to one of the services I'm lookup up (using a service provider). The state fields shows that all these PathChildrenCache instances are CLOSED.
> In my application I'm using a service provider to get an instance, then closing that service provider. It seems that even after doing this, there's still a reference to the NamespaceWatcher held in ZKWatchManager field childWatches (and this refers to the the PathChildrenCache.
