> Upon manual Solr Collection reloading, references to the closed {{SolrCore}} 
> are not fully removed by the garbage collector as a strong reference to the 
> {{ZkIndexSchemaReader}} is held in a ZooKeeper {{Watcher}} that watches for 
> schema changes.
> In our case, this leads to a massive memory leak as managed resources are 
> still referenced by the closed {{SolrCore}}. Our Solr cloud environment 
> utilizes rather large managed resources (synonyms, stopwords). To reproduce, 
> we fired out environment up and reloaded the collection 13 times. As a result 
> we fully exhausted our heap. A closer look with the Yourkit profiler revealed 
> 13 {{SolrCore}} instances, still holding strong references to the garbage 
> collection root (see screenshot 1).
> Each {{SolrCore}} instance holds a single path with strong references to the 
> gc root via a `Watcher` in `ZkIndexSchemaReader` (see screenshot 2). The 
> {{ZkIndexSchemaReader}} registers a close hook in the {{SolrCore}} but the 
> Zookeeper is not removed upon core close.
> We supplied a Github Pull Request that extracts the zookeeper `Watcher` as a 
> static inner class. To eliminate the memory leak, the schema reader is held 
> inside a `WeakReference` and the reference is explicitly removed on core 
> close.
> Initially I wanted to supply a test case but unfortunately did not find a 
> good starting point ...
