Per your advice, this pull request sets up the memory leak, but it cannot verify that it exists without diving into internal drools structures. 

Please let me know what else we can do to facilitate fixing this issue.

I'd need to check, but if you can put together the basics of the test case - the combination of rules and facts that causes the leak,
we'll add the checks to ensure it's solved. Mark should have given you enough pointers to the style we use for test cases.
We really appreciate your collaboration, and since this is a critical bug we'll fix it asap
Thanks!!

Is there a reliable way to find an EventFactHandle instance buried within the TupleEntryQueue’s and the PhreakPropagationContext’s?

The multiple containers of interface/impl’s makes it nearly impossible to write a “good” test that can peak under the hood where this memory leak is being held.  If there is a recommended way to do it, I’d be happy to do so.

Could you submit a unit test as a pull request?

Add it to here, and follow existing conventions:

We have found a workaround that eliminates the leftover event (gone from Working Memory, but not from the JVM memory): 

The rule “forget it ever happened” (seen below) causes the problem.  Re-writing it to remove the check for RAISE in the LHS eliminated the memory leak.  Of course, our application requires the check for RAISE, so it can be accomplished by manually querying working memory from the RHS.  It’s ugly, but it resolved the issue.

query existsRaise($id)
$raise : MyEvent( eventState == EventState.RAISE, eventId == $id )
end

rule "process clear"
no-loop
when
$clear : MyEvent(eventState == EventState.CLEAR, $clearId : eventId)
then
QueryResults results = kcontext.getKieRuntime().getQueryResults( "existsRaise", $clearId );
if (results.size() == 0) { 
System.out.println( "Forwarding CLEAR(" + $clearId + ")" ); 
} else {
         System.out.println("Forgetting RAISE/CLEAR(" + $clearId + ")");
        for (QueryResultsRow row : results){
         MyEvent raise = (MyEvent) row.get ("$raise");
         delete(raise);
}
}
delete($clear);
end

This appears to be a similar situation to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-498.

Correction:  The original post did not include another rule that exists in the stream.  The memory leak does not appear unless both rules are active in the stream.

declare MyEvent 
  @role(event) 
  @timestamp(timestamp) 
end 

/* If a RAISE is buffered for N seconds, send it out */
rule "forward raise"
no-loop
duration (3s)
when
$raise : MyEvent(eventState == EventState.RAISE, $raiseId : eventId)
then
System.out.println("Forwarding RAISE(" + $raiseId + ")");
delete($raise);
end

/* When CLEAR, and buffered, clear them both out */
rule "forget it ever happened"
no-loop
when
$clear : MyEvent(eventState == EventState.CLEAR, $clearId : eventId)
$raise : MyEvent(eventState == EventState.RAISE, eventId == $clearId)

System.out.println("Forgetting RAISE/CLEAR(" + $clearId + ")");
delete($clear);
delete($raise);

The following rule produces a memory leak in Drools 6.1.0-SNAPSHOT:

(Stream mode)

declare MyEvent 
  @role(event) 
  @timestamp(timestamp) 
end 

/* If a RAISE is buffered for N seconds, send it out */
rule "forward raise"
no-loop
duration (3s)

I see the rule fire as expected, printing out the message 3 seconds after the event is added into the session.                                          While the event is waiting, I see a FactCount of 1 in the session.  After the rule fires, the fact count goes to 0.  However, using JVisualVm, querying the heap dump shows 1 instance of MyEvent, referenced by an EventFactHandle and several other Drools objects.

Is this a bug, or is there a better way to write this rule so Drools’ internals let go of the object after it is no longer a fact?
