[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-4169) TabletServer.config contextCleaner removes contexts that are not set on a table

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15208608#comment-15208608 ] 

Ivan Bella commented on ACCUMULO-4169:
--------------------------------------

A possible work around on a running system is to add the context to an empty table to lock it in memory.

The question is what constitutes a context "in use".  Since we can now specify the context to use on an arbitrary scan, the concept of "in use" is somewhat fluid.

Perhaps the context should be cleaned out if it has not been used within some configurable number of minutes.  Alternatively we say that a defined context constitutes it being "in use" indefinitely.  I prefer the first option.

> ACCUMULO-3948 added a feature where you could define a context in the Accumulo configuration, not set it on a table, and use it in a Scanner. However, there is a runnable created n TabletServer.config() that runs every 60 seconds that closes context that are not defined on a table. Suggesting that we have the context cleaner not close any context defined in the configuration.
