--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Spark, but it's inherited by library threads.
The problem is that thread from third-party library is created after spark 
context (thus inheriting its thread local with all the properties, UI object 
etc.) and I have no access over this thread (this is library implementation 
detail), but it's still spark issue (because spark is the owner of this thread 
local): for every inherited thread local spark clones all the properties, so 
the they are effectively detached from Spark and close doesn't affect them. And 
moreover, these properties are inherited for every thread created after spark 
context and I can't even prevent it.

Solution (register every cloned property object and call `.clear` on close for 
all of them) will help

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.0

>              Labels: leak

> Memory leak is present due to inherited thread locals, SPARK-20558 didn't 
> fixed it properly.
> Our production application has the following logic: one thread is reading 
> from HDFS and another one creates spark context, processes HDFS files and 
> then closes it on regular schedule.
> Depending on what thread started first, SparkContext thread local may or may 
> not be inherited by HDFS-daemon (DataStreamer), causing memory leak when 
> streamer was created after spark context. Memory consumption increases every 
> time new spark context is created, related yourkit paths: 
> https://screencast.com/t/tgFBYMEpW
> The problem is more general and is not related to HDFS in particular.
> Proper fix: register all cloned properties (in `localProperties#childValue`) 
> in ConcurrentHashMap and forcefully clear all of them in `SparkContext#close`
