> MemoryArchivist holding on to last thrown exception prevents the user code
> classloader from being garbage collected.
> MemoryArchivist holds on to any number of ArchivedExecutionGraph's. These
> ArchivedExecutionGraph instances contain a failureCause field of type
> ErrorInfo that wrap the exception in case one was thrown to terminate the job
> This exception class will more often than not have been loaded by a user code
> classloader, and as long as the MemoryArchivist holds on to this exception,
> the JVM won't be able to reclaim the resources held by this classloader
