>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.6.0
>            Reporter: Bryan Bende
>            Assignee: Bryan Bende
>            Priority: Major
>
> A user on the mailing list reported that after some time of creating/deleting HDFS processors, it appeared that the classes/instances were still around and eventually the NiFi instance would get out of memory and need to be restarted.
> After investigation there are multiple issues preventing garbage collection of deleted components. One issue is specific to the HDFS processors, the other issues are for all components...
> 1) The LogRepository still has a reference to a ComponentLogger which has a reference to the component
> 2) The processor scheduler has a map of scheduled states which has references to processors that have been deleted
> 3) The Hadoop processors start a thread that is never stopped when the processor is stopped/deleted, this means the class loader can't be cleaned up b/c the Runnable came from the InstanceClassLoader of the deleted processor
> 4) Importing a flow from registry will instantiate an instance of each component to ensure the incoming types are valid, but the InstanceClassLoader and ComponentLogger are not cleaned up for these temp instances
