David Vogelbacher commented on SPARK-24437:
-------------------------------------------

Hey [~mgaido], I am seeing something similar in one of our long running 
applications.
The longer it runs the higher heap usage in the driver grows. Taking a heap 
dump, most of its space is taken up by {{UnsafeHashedRelation}} instances. 
Looking at their paths to GC, they are strongly referenced by 
{{InMemoryRelation}} instances:

So it looks like if dataframes are cached the {{UnsafeHashedRelation}}s are 
never cleaned up, because they are strongly references by generated codegen 
plan? 
The context cleaner can only clean them up when they are no longer strongly 
referenced.

> There seems to memory leak with 
> org.apache.spark.sql.execution.joins.UnsafeHashedRelation
> We have a long running instance of STS.
> With each query execution requiring Broadcast Join, UnsafeHashedRelation is 
> getting added for cleanup in ContextCleaner. This reference of 
> UnsafeHashedRelation is being held at some other Collection and not becoming 
> eligible for GC and because of this ContextCleaner is not able to clean it.
