[jira] [Updated] (CURATOR-14) Memory leak in Curator watches

["Ioannis Canellos (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ioannis Canellos updated CURATOR-14:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: CURATOR-14.patch

A first draft.

The patch adds the WatcherCache interface with a default implementation the NamespaceWatcherCache (used to be NamespaceWatcherMap). The cache is expose by the client as Jason described.

Recipes have been tuned to use the WatcherCache where it makes sense.

Tested against the attached case and it solves the memory leak.

> The JVM runs out of memory if you repetitively create a PathChildrenCache, start it then immediately stop it.  It appears that the memory is taken up by a watch that isn't ever cleaned up.  Curator attempts to do some pooling of watches, but doesn't seem to use the path in the pooling.
