[jira] Reopened: (DERBY-23) just booting jdbc driver and shutting down seem to leak memory

["Knut Anders Hatlen (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

Knut Anders Hatlen reopened DERBY-23:
-------------------------------------


As I have mentioned on derby-dev earlier, there is a problem with the
current fix. After the fix was committed, store/encryptDatabase.sql
sometimes failed because one or more rawStoreDaemon threads printed a
NullPointerException to System.err.

For an example, see:
http://www.multinet.no/~solberg/public/Apache/TinderBox_Derby/testlog/SunOS-5.10_i86pc-i386/290646-encryptionCFB_diff.txt

The reason for this is that the fix nulls out the reference from the
ContextService to the list of ContextManagers when the ContextService
is stopped. Some threads with references to the ContextService might
still be alive when the ContextService is stopped, and they get
NullPointerExceptions when accessing the stopped ContextService.

I have only been able to reproduce this behaviour with the
store/encryptDatabase.sql test on multi-cpu machines running with a
heavy background load. It seems like the threads that get
NullPointerExceptions are orphan threads (like the ones described in
DERBY-594) that have not yet been able to start because of the heavy
background load. The problem might go away when DERBY-594 is resolved,
but I think it needs further investigation.
