Description

The root cause for the excessive memory allocation reported in #7900 is the DerivedUnitFacadeFieldUnitCacheStrategy.getCollectorAndFieldNumber() method in which new Teams are created temporarily in order to create title cache strings. When adding the collector person to this Team the team is registered as PropertyChangeListener to the Person which creates a strong reference between both. The temporary Team objects now can no longer be cleaned up by the garbage collector:

I suggest two modifications:

DerivedUnitFacadeFieldUnitCacheStrategy.getCollectorAndFieldNumber() without the unnecessary Team.NewInstance()
removal of the registration of the person as PropertyChangeListerer to the Team

what is the situation here. Is this already implemented and needs review or does it need a decision which step to go?

we need to decide between the alternative solutions suggested in comment 3

If we can decide on this quickly we could apply the according changes for this release otherwise we need to move the issue to the next release and set it to HIGHEST

Target version changed from Release 5.5 to Release 5.6

As we decided to only work on review tickets and easy to fix critical bugs for this version I suggest to move to next version. Or is this critical?

I fully agree in moving this issue to 5.6 .Since this is a major bug we should set the priority to HIGHEST in order to avoid that this issue is being missed.

I guess this is solved with #9678. So the implemented solution is modification 1. The new cache strategy does not use an explicit new Team instance anymore.

Please review.
