[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (HRJS-63) Investigate more recent or alternative Promise implementations

Investigate more recent or alternative Promise implementations -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HRJS-63 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HRJS-63 Project: Infinispan Javascript client Issue Type: Task Reporter: Galder Zamarreño Assignee: Galder Zamarreño The current Promise implementation ({{promise:7.0.4}}) can have misleading GC behaviour. If you create a promise out of a big number of promises, any linked function callbacks via {{.then()}} will still see all the garbage generated by the Promises. Only when one of those {{.then()}} functions returns a new Promise will all previous Promises and related memory consumption be garbage collected. Create a test that replicates this and verify whether newer implementations handle it better, or whether alternative implementations avoid this issue. An example of this can be found [here|https://gist.github.com/galderz/ba1bb305b8c592cbece3da566edfb12b]. In this [other example|https://gist.github.com/galderz/38d3a0ed42729129167bbb7c2cfc3163] the problem is avoided by generating a new promise after handling the big Promise.
