> We have identified a bug in the closing mechanism of the executor service for
> {{{}AbstractHttpAsyncClientBase{}}}. The executor service is created as a
> single-thread executor, specifically an
> {{{}AutoShutdownDelegatedExecutorService{}}}. This class creates a phantom
> reference that is cleanable to the executor service it delegates to.
> h4. *Issue Details:*
> * The {{AutoShutdownDelegatedExecutorService}} correctly calls the
> {{shutdownNow()}} method on the underlying executor service.
> * However, the phantom reference is never dereferenced and remains held
> internally.
> * When used with dynamic class loading, this results in a classloader hook
> that remains active, leading to long-lived classloaders that block non-heap
> memory.
> h4. *Proposed Solution:*
> *Call shutdown() after shutdownNow() -* Implement logic to ensure that the
> phantom reference is properly dereferenced
> h4. *Benefits:*
> * Fixing this bug will prevent classloader hooks from hanging and ensure
> that non-heap memory is not blocked by long-lived classloaders.
> Implementing this change will significantly enhance the resource management
> and reliability of the executor service in our application.
