John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1379:
--------------------------------------

I'm going to be handling this in the curator branch, because this also makes things a lot more pleasant in testing due to staticness of things.

>          Components: client
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.3, 1.5.0
>         Environment: Linux/JBoss

> Under version 1.3.7 we are using the following code to initialize a cloudbase connection during initialization of our web app:
>                         ZooKeeperInstance instance = new ZooKeeperInstance(instanceName, zooKeepers);
>                         connector = instance.getConnector(userId, password.getBytes());
> The problem is that under the hood, this call creates several threads that are not cleaned up when the app is undeployed in JBoss. This is occurring without performing any scans or interacting with cloudbase in any other way. After relatively few redeploys of the app, the PermGen Space is OOM.
> I can't find any reference in the cloudbase API akin to a close() method for the Connector object. This is a classloader leak effecting any webapp that is accessing cloudbase directly. The result of this leak is not simply orphaned threads, but thousands of classes not gc'd because the classloader itself can't be gc'd. This is what is filling up PermGen.
