[jira] [Created] (SLING-13044) Job retries can create a large amount of Timers

Joerg Hoh created SLING-13044:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Job retries can create a large amount of Timers
                 Key: SLING-13044
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-13044
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Event
    Affects Versions: Event Impl 4.4.0
            Reporter: Joerg Hoh


When a job needs to be retried, a new Timer with a single TimerTask is created. As each Timer creates a controlling thread, a large number of jobs to be retried can lead to the creation of a large amount of threads. This number is unlimited.

To control the amount of threads created under such circumstances, a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor should be used, for which we can control the number of threads. Each Job Queue should get its own dedicated instance of such an executor.
