             Summary:  PermGen leak 
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1379
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1379
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 1.4.3
         Environment: Linux/JBoss
            Reporter: Mike Giordano
            Assignee: Billie Rinaldi


Under version 1.3.7 we are using the following code to initialize a cloudbase 
connection during initialization of our web app:

                        ZooKeeperInstance instance = new 
ZooKeeperInstance(instanceName, zooKeepers);
                        connector = instance.getConnector(userId, 
password.getBytes());

The problem is that under the hood, this call creates several threads that are 
not cleaned up when the app is undeployed in JBoss. This is occurring without 
performing any scans or interacting with cloudbase in any other way. After 
relatively few redeploys of the app, the PermGen Space is OOM.

I can't find any reference in the cloudbase API akin to a close() method for 
the Connector object. This is a classloader leak effecting any webapp that is 
accessing cloudbase directly. The result of this leak is not simply orphaned 
threads, but thousands of classes not gc'd because the classloader itself can't 
be gc'd. This is what is filling up PermGen.
