             Summary: Memory leak with 
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerConfigHelper$Log4jEventWrapper
                 Key: LOG4J2-505
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-505
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
            Reporter: Tal Liron


Instances of this class seem to be created but never garbage collected. Here is 
a jmap dump of the problem:

Use jhat to analyze it: if you go to the instance count, you will see that the 
aforementioned class is way out of control.

Some background on how I discovered this, which may help: I am currently 
working with the Oracle OpenJDK team to debug a memory leak that has existed 
with JSR-292 (invokedynamic) that has been present since 7u40, and also plagues 
OpenJDK 8 right now. The bug is prevalent in the Nashorn engine, which is being 
shipped with JDK 8. Indeed, in the memory dump above, you'll see that JSR-292 
and Nashorn classes are also out of control -- but still second to the log4j 
class!
