Guys, As we know ThreadLocal is an instrument which should be used with great care. And I recently faced with problems related to proper cleanup of ThreadLocal which is not needed anymore. In my opinion the best thing (in ideal world) is to get rid of ThreadLocal where possible, but I guess that it is quite hard (in real world).
Also, a question comes to my mind. As ThreadLocal is so common in our code, could you suggest some guidance or code fragments which address proper ThreadLocal lifecycle control and especially cleanup? 2018-09-10 12:46 GMT+03:00 Alexey Goncharuk <alexey.goncha...@gmail.com>: > Maxim, > > Ignite supports starting multiple instances of Ignite in the same VM, so > having static thread locals for the fields you mentioned does not work. > > Generally, I think thread-local should be bound to the lifespan of the > component it describes.
