EAP 7 has growing amounts of pipe and eventpoll file handles between full GC cycles
Issue
- We see a growing number of open file handles from pipes and eventpolls on EAP 7:
java 16990 jbossadmin 901u a_inode 0,10 0 6123 [eventpoll]
java 16990 jbossadmin 879w FIFO 0,9 0t0 392721389 pipe
java 16990 jbossadmin 489r FIFO 0,9 0t0 392721389 pipe
- It looks like these decrease after a full GC cycle.
