Memory leak with GeoEvent Server and "Receive JSON on a REST Endpoint" input

Question

I have a clean installation of GeoEvent Server 10.9 with a single, simple dataflow on a REST endpoint. The REST input is connected to a Field Calculator (generating a geometry) and output is sent to a BDS.

Day by day the allocated RAM-usage of "Open JDK Platform binary" expands with 50-100 MB until the server is unresponsive and requires a restart. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi Jan,
I didn't find a solution with the GeoEvent Server. To solve the problem I had to develop my own Windows Service which posts data directly to the Big Data Store, circumventing the GeoEvent Server altogether. I find the GeoEvent Server rather buggy and unpredictable.
My dataflow is pretty simply, just XML files transformed to JSON and posted to the BDS. As I can't replicate the bug using the simulator, my guess is that the problem in my setting occurs when I have a number of threads posting data to GeoEvent Server simultaneously.

Bjarke
