Github user aledsage commented on the issue:

@neykov previous build failure here could well be fixed by
https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/368 - our `BrooklynLeakListener`
wasn't finding any left-behind management contexts to stop them, so our memory
usage might have been climbing over time.
Once that PR is confirmed to work in jenkins (including checking its stdout
that the leak-detector really executed) then I'll merge
https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/368).

> The sensor {{Transformer}} enricher fails to resolve its {{targetValue}}
> indeterministically, especially so on loaded systems. This is especially
> problematic if sourceSensor/triggerSensors change infrequently or do not
> change ever (when using default values).
> Bueprints using the {{Transformer}} behave perfectly fine during development
> and on test setups, but will fail on production machines (i.e. under load).
> The code [doing the value
> resolving|https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/blob/b59e7463a9b337c2d0e7931cd420d5bac68d8549/core/src/main/java/org/apache/brooklyn/enricher/stock/Transformer.java#L90-L94]
> tries to do so in a non-blocking fashion by spinning a thread to try to
> resolve and cancelling it after a short while without guarantees it ever got
> scheduled to run. It's more likely to fail when nesting DSLs, for example
> nesting several levels of {{$brooklyn:formatString}} and ending with a
> {{$brooklyn:attributeWhenRready}}. It's a common pattern in moderately
> complex blueprints. It needs to schedule a thread for each nesting level thus
> maximizing the chance that the value will not be resolved in the allotted
> time even if resolvabe. This is especially bad for sensors which don't get
> updated, for example {{PortAttributeSensorAndConfigKey} set only when
> initializing the entity or any config values which are always resolvable.
