John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1379:
--------------------------------------
I say no on Connector.close because Connector doesn't have references to the
ZooCache needed to make the code path make sense. We document things very
strongly that for each instance you connect to, you only want one Instance
object. This makes the counting straight forward.

> 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.
