David Smiley commented on SOLR-11882:
-------------------------------------
I'm working on a PR for SOLR-15438 that has a small change to not add a field
MetricManager to SolrDispatchFilter. I'll leave it to you if you want to move
the register & unregister logic completely to CoreContainer. Perhaps many
tests that don't need Jetty but need a CoreContainer might not need the extra
metrics? Yet moreover it'd probably be better to disable MetricManager somehow
and I recall you did something to allow for that?

> *Description:*
> Our setup involves using a lot of small cores (possibly hundred thousand),
> but working only on a few of them at any given time.
> We already followed all recommendations in this guide:
> [https://wiki.apache.org/solr/LotsOfCores]
> We noticed that after creating/loading around 1000-2000 empty cores, with no
> documents inside, the heap consumption went through the roof despite having
> set transientCacheSize to only 64 (heap size set to 12G).
> All cores are correctly set to loadOnStartup=false and transient=true, and we
> have verified via logs that the cores in excess are actually being closed.
> However, a reference remains in the
> org.apache.solr.metrics.SolrMetricManager#registries that is never removed
> until a core if fully unloaded.
> Restarting the JVM loads all cores in the admin UI, but doesn't populate the
> ConcurrentHashMap until a core is actually fully loaded.
> I reproduced the issue on a smaller scale (transientCacheSize = 5, heap size
> = 512m) and made a report (attached) using eclipse MAT.
> *Desired outcome:*
> When a transient core is closed, the references in the SolrMetricManager
> should be removed, in the same fashion the reporters for the core are also
> closed and removed.
> In alternative, a unloadOnClose=true|false flag could be implemented to fully
> unload a transient core when closed due to the cache size.
> *Note:*
> The documentation mentions everywhere that the unused cores will be unloaded,
> but it's misleading as the cores are never fully unloaded.
