Anthony Baker resolved GEODE-1305.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> There are some tests that fail due to GC pauses. VMs need to be bounced more
> often in order to avoid this.

> Key: GEODE-1305
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1305
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build, tests
> Reporter: Udo Kohlmeyer
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the DUnit tests fork every 30 test classes in order to avoid
> potential OOME or unnecessary GC pauses. Yet, unnecessary GCs still cause
> some tests to be marked as "flaky".
> In order reproduce this flaky behaviour, tests can be run until they fail.
> Which mostly occurs due to the test not cleaning up after itself.
> The "fork 30" functionality should be replicated in the test code, as running
> a single test/test class, eventually causes it to fail, due to GC issues.
> Ideally the VMs should be bounced after every test. But due to increased test
> times, this might be increased to bounce the VMs after a certain amount of
> tests rather the test classes as gradle script currently does.
