EAP 7.1 CP3 infinispan memory leak

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While migrating from EAP 6.4 to EAP 71 CP3 a memory leak on infinispan EJB cache has been detected.
  • One of the differences between EAP 6.4 and 7.1 concerns EJB passivation: file-passivation-store is replaced by an infinispan passivation-store.
  • We can see EJBs are removed from memory once the session times out. However the infinispan EJB cache keeps growing while it should be flat.
  • Upon disabling EJB passivation, we observe no more leak, so we suspect there is a leak in infinispan with respect to the EJB passivation feature.

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Server (EAP) 7.1 CP3
