Please let me know if the permGen issue can be fixed somehow.
Thanks

actually, yes you are right - that was indeed the problem. That iterator is normally only used by the working memory, which is single threaded, but in this case its on the rulebase, which is not suppose to hold state. I'll fix this now,  well found :)

Do you know if the fix I mentioned (returning a new iterator each time) solves the problem or only mask it?
We create the initial RuleBase on server start-up.

actually I thought i tracked it down, was wrong. Anyway once the RuleBase is built the "ObjectHashMap objectTypeNodes" in Rete should not change....Only I things I can think of are:
1) Some how a thread is seeing a stale version of the map
2) the rulebase is getting updated while propagation is happening, maybe combine with an issue from 1. In reality the rulebase addition should obey the standard locking mechanism and stop this from happening.
3) The initial RuleBase hasn't finished building yet, and threads are already being spun off to assert data.

I have a feeling its 3...

ok, that might be it. We generate code in a singleton classloader, I suspect that each thread is generating its' own getters. I suspect that created singleton classloader is not getting GCd and releasing the perm gen. I'm not sure how to fix this. You can check this yourself by attaching a jprofiler instance (available for free trial) and looking at the object counts.

I've tracked down the concurrency issue. The Rete node has a HashMap of ObjectTypeNodes that is built on the fly, that was global to the rulebase. I'll have to make it local to the working Memory. I'll fix that today.

Our server creates hundreds of stateful rule sessions concurrently. Each created rule seesion is specific to a thread. We did not encounter
any memory problems with the previous version. As I've said, it's difficult (actually, impossible) for me to provide you with a self contained example
since the drl is complicated and contains dozens of complex objects. However, I am ready to provide you with any information that can help
us in that manner.
I've also mentioned in the earlier threads the concurrency problem I've encountered with AbstractHashTable.
Can this has something to do with it?

I don't beleive there is anything in 4.0 that is going to cause such quick loss of permgen. Can you create a self contained example that illustrates this behaviour? So we can reproduce this?

We've tried to increase the permGen to 256mb. It did not help and the space run out really fast.
Regarding MVEL, is turning code generation off something that can (or will) be done with a configuration parameter/factory method or do I need to track down all the places in the code?
 
We did not experience such memory behavior with the previous version we used (3.06) when running the same tests.
Bugs in 3.06 (no longer present in 4M3) are forcing us to upgrade.
 
Is there another reason for such behaviour?
Should we wait for release candidate?

increase your perm gen space,or use the MVEL dialect with code generation off.

Hello,
 
During capacity tests we've received permGen OOM exception. The occupied space in the permGen area increases rapidly. Any opinions?

In our project we are creating a StatefulRuleSession and saving it in a per-thread context (i.e. Each thread has it's own StatefulRuleSession):
 
ruleServiceProvider.getRuleRuntime().createRuleSession(contextName, properties, RuleRuntime.STATEFUL_SESSION_TYPE);
 
When a thread session ends, we are calling release on the previously created StatefulRuleSession.
 
 
Changing the following lines:
 

public abstract class AbstractHashTable
  

...

    public Iterator iterator() {
//        if ( this.iterator == null ) {
//            this.iterator = new HashTableIterator( this );
//        }
//
//        this.iterator.reset();
//        return this.iterator;

        HashTableIterator iterator = new HashTableIterator(this);
        iterator.reset();

        return iterator;
    }

Seems to solve the problem I've encountered. What's your opinion?

a working memory should be single threaded, so not sure how this could be a race condition?

I've done a little debugging. The code fails in the following segment:
 
public static class HashTableIterator
...
 while ( this.entry == null ) {
                    this.row++;
                    if ( this.row == this.length ) {
                        return null;
                    }
                    this.entry = this.table[this.row]; // ---> index out of bounds exception
                }
}
 
this.row has the same value as this.length despite the condition above it. Probably a race condition issue.

Not really :(

In your situation I tend to keep removing rules and data while still making sure the error happens, to get it down to a minimum. Please do try, as this isn't an error that should happen. Or alterntaively you can open drools-core and drools-compiler in eclipse and execuse and debug this yourself - in your situation this might best. you can put in a breakpoint to listen for that particular exception.

It's hard for me to provide a self contained project. The drl is long and uses several business objects. It's the same drl as we've been using for 306 minus the keyword changes.
Is there anything else i can check or provide you in order to solve this matter.
 
Thanks

Can you provide us a self contained project which creates this error? Unless we can recreate it, it will be very hard to track it down. Please attach the project to a jira and we'll make it a priority.

Hello,
 
I've just started integrating MR3 into my project (I've previously used 3.06). The drl compiles and everything seems fine, but during
tests the following exception is thrown for time to time:

This only happens during high load tests.
Can anyone help me?
