Ioannis Canellos updated CURATOR-14:
------------------------------------
Attachment: CURATOR-14-dispatchingwatcher.patch
I experimented with Eric's idea and created the attached patch.
The patch introduces a global watcher (DispatchingWatcher) which dispatches
events to all registered watchers.
Watcher/Path pairs can be registered to the dispatcher (in the same manner that
are registered in ZK itself). The main difference is that watcher instances are
stored in a guava cache that uses soft values (weak values were too eager for
some of curator tests, so went with soft).
Registered watchers will be removed from the DispatchingWatcher when fired or
garbage collected.
A single watcher can be registered to many paths, but only once per path.

> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-incubating
> Reporter: Brandon Beck
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: CURATOR-14-dispatchingwatcher.patch,

> MemoryTest.java

>
> 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.
