Kathey Marsden reopened DERBY-5457:
-----------------------------------

    
> Memory is not freed after OutOfMemoryError, thus preventing Derby from recovering
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: DERBY-5457
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5457
>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Network Server
>    Affects Versions: 10.6.2.1
>         Environment: Derby Server 10.6.2.1 on Windows 7 with Derby JDBC Client 10.6.2.1 connections. Client uses OpenJPA as ORM Provider
>            Reporter: Dominik Stadler
>            Assignee: Kristian Waagan
>              Labels: memory
>             Fix For: 10.8.2.2, 10.9.0.0
>
>         Attachments: GC Root of the object that keeps all the memory.jpg, One instance of RAMTransaction keeps 700M.jpg
>
>
> After some uptime, my Derby Server goes OOM with the following errors:
> {quote}
> 2011-10-03 10:35:21.002 GMT : Security manager installed using the Basic server security policy.
> 2011-10-03 10:35:23.295 GMT : Apache Derby Network Server - 10.6.2.1 - (999685) started and ready to accept connections on port 11527
> Exception in thread "DRDAConnThread_12" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
> Exception in thread "NetworkServerThread_2" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
> Exception in thread "DRDAConnThread_3" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
> {quote}
> I suspect that I create transactions that are too big, so the OOM is not really of concern to me here untill I have investigated the actual cause. 
> However I would expect the Derby Server to recover from this situation as soon as the connection to the Client application is closed, but this does not seem to happen, I have memory dumps from a point in time when the Client was already closed and they show that there are still large instances of RAMTransaction kept in memory. 
> I will attach screenshots from MAT which shows the memory usage and the objects keeping this in memory, please adjust handling of OOM so that the memory is freed here.
