             Summary: Detect/Fail tests when they leak RAM in static fields
                 Key: LUCENE-4252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4252
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: general/test
            Reporter: Robert Muir


We run our junit tests without firing up a JVM each time.

But some tests initialize lots of stuff in @BeforeClass and don't properly null 
it out in an @AfterClass, which can cause a subsequent test in the same JVM to 
OOM, which is difficult to debug.

Inspiration for this was me committing Mike's cool TestPostingsFormat, which 
forgot to do this: then we were seeing OOMs in several jenkins runs.

We should try to detect these leaks in LuceneTestCase with RAMUsageEstimator 
and fail the test.
