[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-1233) Memory references to removed facts are retained for certain rules

Jon Kranes updated DROOLS-1233:
-------------------------------
Steps to Reproduce: Run the attached unit test in debug mode with a breakpoint at
System.out line specified. While the program is paused take a heap dump using jvisualvm
after performing a GC. The heap dump will show instances of TestClass remain in memory
even though they have been removed from the session. The attached screen shots show the
jvisualvm class view and the reference path from an instance of TestClass to the drools
Session. Note that the heap dump shows that Drools is holding 200,000 instances of
DefaultFactHandle, which includes the 100,000 expected instances corresponding to 100,000
instances of TestClass2, but also an additional 100,000 instances corresponding to the
removed facts for instances of TestClass. These additional 100,000 DefaultFactHandle
instances in memory are not available through the KieSession API and thus cannot be
programmatically removed in any obvious way. (was: Run the attached unit test in debug

Memory references to removed facts are retained for certain rules

Key: DROOLS-1233
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1233
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core engine
Affects Versions: 6.4.0.Final
Reporter: Jon Kranes
Assignee: Mario Fusco
Attachments: drools-memory-test.zip, gc-root.jpg, gc-root.tiff, heap-dump.jpg,
heap-dump.tiff
Given a simple rule of a specific pattern, Drools maintains references in a stateful
session to fact objects even after the facts have been withdrawn from working memory.
For example, given the following rule:
{code}
rule "TestRule"
when
$tc : TestClass()
not TestClass2(name == $tc.name)
then
insert(new TestClass2($tc.getName()));
end
{code}
Drools will maintain an internal reference to instances of TestClass even after they have
been explicitly deleted from the session.
