Thanks for the detailed analysis — I can confirm this is a real resource leak pattern in the MySQL backend. Looking at the code, the root cause is **architectural**: `ResultSetWrapper` correctly implements `AutoCloseable` [[1]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-mysql/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/store/mysql/ResultSetWrapper.java#L26), but it gets wrapped inside `MysqlEntryIterator`, which is returned from `MysqlStore.query()` **without any resource management enforcement** at the API boundary [[2]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-mysql/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/store/mysql/MysqlStore.java#L273-L278). If the caller doesn't fully consume or explicitly close the returned iterator, the underlying `ResultSetWrapper` (and its `Statement`/`ResultSet`) leak. Some code paths handle this correctly — for example, `MysqlTable.queryExist()` uses a proper try-finally pattern [[3]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-mysql/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/store/mysql/MysqlTable.java#L425-L432), and `MysqlTable.queryNumber()` explicitly closes the `ResultSetWrapper` in a finally block [[4]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-mysql/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/store/mysql/MysqlTable.java#L436-L452). But `MysqlStore.query()` returns the iterator directly to external callers with no cleanup guarantee. This project has actually addressed similar MySQL resource leaks multiple times before: - [PR #1627](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/pull/1627) created `ResultSetWrapper` itself to fix a statement leak - [PR #1640](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/pull/1640) fixed count SQL statement leaks - [PR #1643](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/pull/1643) fixed statement leaks caused by Gremlin exec timeouts - [PR #2014](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/pull/2014) added iterator closure on error paths However, none of these fully resolved the fundamental issue of unmanaged iterator returns from `MysqlStore.query()`. Regarding your proposed `finalize()` fix — while it resolves the symptom, `finalize()` is deprecated since Java 9 and has known issues (non-deterministic timing, GC overhead, potential resurrection). A more robust approach would be: 1. **Ensure all callers** of `MysqlStore.query()` use try-with-resources or try-finally to close iterators 2. **Add defensive cleanup** in `MysqlTable.query()` to close `ResultSetWrapper` if the parser throws an exception [[5]](https://github.com/apache/hugegraph/blob/9126c80e414c073b60fc074361b211cfb409e0eb/hugegraph-server/hugegraph-mysql/src/main/java/org/apache/hugegraph/backend/store/mysql/MysqlTable.java#L470-L473) 3. Consider using a `Cleaner` (Java 9+) instead of `finalize()` as a safety net, or implement `PhantomReference`-based cleanup Would you be interested in opening a PR with a fix? The most impactful change would be auditing all call sites of `MysqlStore.query()` to ensure proper iterator closure. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fhugegraph).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
