ExpirationAlgorithm doesn't evict nodes that have been created in a long Tx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCACHE-1582 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBCACHE-1582 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Eviction Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA, 3.0.1.GA, 3.0.2.GA, 3.0.3.GA, 3.1.0.GA, 3.2.0.GA, 3.2.1.GA, 3.2.2.GA, 3.2.3.GA, 3.2.4.GA, 3.2.5.GA Reporter: Nicolas Filotto Assignee: Manik Surtani Fix For: 3.2.6.GA Attachments: Expiration_and_LRU_solution_based_on_command_and_transaction_transfer.patch, TestEvictionAlgorithms.java, TestExpirationAlgorithm.java, TestExpirationAlgorithm.java, TestExpirationAlgorithm.java I noticed that I had a memory leak in my application when I use the ExpirationAlgorithm (maybe this bug happens with other algorithms) due to some nodes that were never evicted. After a deeper investigation, I noticed that no EvictionEntry was created for those nodes since the method getExpiration returns null (which also means that cache.peek(fqn, false) returns null). I finally found the problem, that is because if the Expiration Thread wakes up before that the related Tx is committed, it doesn't find the node into the cache so it considers it as removed but in fact it is just because the Tx has not yet been committed. This has for consequence that the node will never be evicted and thus create a memory leak. Please find the related unit test as attached file.
