It does, in fact, use a HashTable table internally. ArrayLists are used to store WeakEntries whose keys' HashCodes are the same. Since the probability of a collision is very low, ArrayLists contain most of the time only one WeakEntry.

Therefor, you should not use an array list and make linear comparisons. Instead WeakHashTable should internally use a hashtable. The first implementation was in the right direction, the only fix should have been to use WeakEntry as a key to the table and not the hash code.

This is only a warning but... 2) The Java WeakHashMap does not throw an execption when put() is called with a key that already exists in the table. It simply replaces the old value with the new value. .NET Hashtable does the same. The Add method of WeakHashTable should remove the WeakEntry if the key is found and replace it with the new value in order to stay in line instead of throwing the Exception. 3) WeakHashTableEnumarator should be WeakHashTableEnumerator 4) WeakEntry.HashCode is not used and should be removed. 5) WeakHashTable.InitialMem is not used and should be removed. Other than that, I think this looks good. -tim > Lucene.NET (Revision: 603121) is leaking memory > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENENET-106 > URL: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-106 > Project: Lucene.Net > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: .NET 2.0 > Reporter: Anton K. > Assignee: Digy > Priority: Critical > Attachments: DIGY-FieldCacheImpl.patch, Digy.rar, > luceneSrc_memUsage.patch, Paches for v2.3.1.rar, WeakHashTable > v2.patch, WeakHashTable+FieldCacheImpl.rar, WeakReferences.rar > > > readerCache Hashtable field (see FieldCacheImpl.cs) never releases some hash items that have closed IndexReader object as a key.
