Richard Yin commented on SLING-4676:
------------------------------------

Hello, 
Is there any ETA at this moment for when this issue will get fixed or to be included in a release? Fix version seems to be noted as "Commons Threads 3.2.2", when is the approximate date for that release to be generally available? Thanks.

> A thread from the pool might use thread locals which are - for whatever reason - not cleaned up, when the thread is put back into the pool.
> This can lead to memory leaks.
> We should protect against this.
> Unfortunately there is no official API to clean up thread locals. There are solutions out there using reflection.
> Another option is to simply discard the thread object after some time of usage and use a fresh one. This needs to include thread objects staying in the pool for a long time
