Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *closed* an issue as *Rejected* I'm going to close this ticket as the original claim was invalid: hibernate.search.autoregister_listeners works as intended, even if its name is confusing. Ronak S ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5ea56c8... ) : if you find more information about your memory problem, and it does point to Hibernate Search, please open a topic on our forums: https://discourse.hibernate.org/c/hibernate-search. We can discuss this more easily there. Hibernate Search ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiN2RiOWYz... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3900?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiN2R... ) HSEARCH-3900 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3900?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiN2R... ) drop-and-create strategy is not working at app. startup when "hibernate.search.autoregister_listeners" is set to false. And if true, startup index creation thread are not released, sending the app in out of memory.
