Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1379:
----------------------------------------
bq. I had no intention of implementing a finalize().
Thats probably best. Might even be worthwhile to add an emtpy finalize with a
comment say it was intentionally left blank and why. I know a year from now if
someone came along and asked why ZKI finalize() does not call close() I would
not have a clue.
Do you think close should be on Connector as opposed to Instance?

> 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.
