Hmmm, strange, the PageConfig.java diff of that URL doesn't show up on
my desktops (probably because of a 403 error) ...  Anyway, I cloned this
repo and made a webrev against 1385:1387 to have something referrable: see
http://iws.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~elkner/tmp/gustavo/

But first: The main problem wrt. leaks is, that the Searchers do not
auto-close the used IndexReaders/Executors anymore. So to restore the
old behavior (fix the bug), something like this should be sufficient:
http://src.iws.cs.ovgu.de/source/diff/opengrok-jel/src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/SearchHelper.java?r1=/opengrok-jel/src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/SearchHelper.java@1385:1c62bc7908a0&r2=/opengrok-jel/src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/SearchHelper.java@1424:504c5781fb6a&format=u&full=0

Wrt. to the webrev/Gustvos patches:

1) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/WebappListener.java:
  a) Shouldn't runtime related settings/instanca be fetched via the
     RuntimeEnvironment, e.g. like
     RuntimeEnvironment.getInstance()[.getConfiguration()].getSearchPool[Size]()
     Furthermore, even if obtained via RuntimeEnvironment, shouldn't lazy
     instantiation should be preferred?
     IMHO: no changes required here

2) web/search.jsp
  a) The SearchHelper should not have have any dependencies on a webapp/
     servlet context/its consumer - it should be usable in a "standalone" 
     app in the same manner. As shown above, there is no need for such a
     reference.  So IMHO no changes required here as well.

3) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/PageConfig.java
  a) same thing - no changes required at all.

4) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/configuration/RuntimeEnvironment.java
  a) line 41: import not needed - no changes required

5) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/configuration/Configuration.java:
  - line 195: a little nit - not required, since globals are always
    initialized to 0/null

6) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/web/SearchHelper.java
  Changes look IMHO a little bit chaotic:
  a) "this." prefix == overhead - shouldn't be used if not required
     (readability, unwritten project code convention)
  b) Lines 103-108: Why public? IMHO there is no need/is dangerous to
     expose these impementation details ... 
  c) Lines 107,108: Why is this one needed? If programmed cleanly,
     doesn't this list contain one entry, only? the IndexSearcher which is
     equal to this.searcher - i.e. we already have a reference to it ?
  d) Lines 103..105: Why is this needed here? SearcherManagers
     are acquired from the "SearcherCache" based on the index dir.
     Why is it not possible to aquire the needed Searcher directly from
     the "SearcherCache" based on the index dir?
     So IMHO, if such a list is needed, it should be part of the
     SearchManager. Isn't it pretty unclean/dangerous, to let an
     "outsider" manage/control the innards of the SearcherCache?
     IMHO better encapsulation is needed.
  e) Lines 133..143: not needed - see 1)
  f) Lines 184..227: as said in d) - any reference/occurance of
     SearcherManager looks like a design flaw - should go into
     "SearcherCache"
  g) Lines 210..222: tribut to unclean design? Asking the
     SearcherCache for Searcher for certain dirs just to get a
     reference to its internally used IndexReaders to build a new
     Searcher from it - does this make any sense? Sounds for me from
     the back through the breast and also rises the question:
     Do we have a SearcherCache or not? Why does one need to bypass it
     from time to time?
  h) Line 227: similar to g) - Why does the SearchHelper need to know
     anything about an executor, when it doesn't need it - the obvious
     owner/user/manager seem to be the SearcherCache?
  i) Lines 460-472: as said, seems to be odd as well, since a
     SearchHelper has one aka this.searcher, only ...

7) src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/search/SearcherCache.java
  a) big flaw: there is no way to shutdown this Cache. So a restart
     of the web app may cause big leaks as well ...
     Also resources can't be freed, even if there are no consumers
     for a long time ...
  b) Lines 70-72: the internally used threadPool, which is essential
     for proper working, should not be exposed to outsiders.
  c) Lines 48-54: The current behavior is, that each request gets
     a new ThreadPool with max 2*(CPUs+1), if required. Obviously
     not that smart. However, with the suggested change there are
     max. only 2*(CPUs+1) threads available for all requests. Depending
     on the load (number of concurrent requests and queried projects),
     this may actually result in blocking requests (kind of sequential
     behavior) and lead to timeouts wrt. answers. Not sure, what the
     search threads are actually doing, but may be a FixedThreadPool
     may cause more problems, than it solves. Unless no deeper
     research/experience was gathered, for now I would probably prefer a
     dynamic Thread Pool Executor with a core pool size of 2*(CPUs+1) and a
     max. pool size of e.g. 128 or 256 threads (depending on the number of
     projects, machine, ...). JavaConsole/JMX might be used to find out more ...
  d) Lines 58..63: synchronizing newThread just because of getting a
     unique int is a bad choice. It should be unsynced and use an
     AtomicInteger instead. 
  e) Line 64: a tribute to the missing shutdown method? ;-)
  f) Line 77..84: 
     1) Why is it necessary to create a new SearcherFactory for each
        index dir? Shouldn't factories be singletons a priori?
     2) Does it make sense, that a http thread "forks" another thread
        and blocks until it has finished its work? I.e. the search
        within a single dir (project) should always be done by the
        [http] thread itself, w/o the use of another thread ...
     3) Since the whole thing is to avoid unnecessary Searcher/Reader
        creation, shouldn't be a more clever algorithm be used to obtain
        SearchManagers/maintain the map?
        I think it would be better to use a normal map and a
        ReentrantLock -> lookup again -> on fail create and add
        instead of blindly creating and eventuelly discarding a
        SM+Searcher+Reader ...
   g) Last but not least, what happens, if the configuration (data root)
      changes?

A better way to implement?
  a) SearcherCache: could be either a singleton -
     SearcherCache.getInstance() - or a "normal" Instance managed by the
     RuntimeEnvironment (RE) - the easy way wrt. management, e.g.:
     - RE.getSearcherCache() creates lazy a instance of the
       SearcherCache if not already done, keeps a ref to it and returns
       it
     - on RE.setConfiguration() [data root change] it may shutdown the
       SC and set the internal ref to null
     - there should be only one instance of a SearcherFactory be used
       by the SC
     - the SearcherFactory should create newSearcher with a threadpool
       arg only, if it has subreaders
     - the sm.maybeRefresh() part can be ommitted, if the cache gets
       shutdowned/a new one is used, when the RE.config gets changed
     - implementation details like threadpool, SM usage should be kept
       private
     - misc bla mentioned above
   b) - SearchHelper should get a ref to the SC either via
        SearcherCache.getInstance() or RE.getSearcherCache()
      - the only thing it does, is sc.getSearcher(File ....) and
      - on destroy: sc.release(searcher)
      NOTE: The implementation details, whether the SC only caches
      readers and creates each time a new Searcher on getSearcher(...)
      or caches created searchers, is completely hidden from the 
      consumer (e.g. SearchHelper) and thus can be changed/tuned without any
      trouble if necessary ...

Hopefully I've catched most issues/problems ;-)

Cheers,
jel.
