Lots of boundedElastic-evictor TIMED_WAITING threads related to form data requests

[Justubborn]

I send request to webflux demo server. use springboot version 2.4.1 , create no quantity limit nuboundedElastic-evictor thread and always keep timed waiting status.

test script

ab -n 10000 -c 1000 -T "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -p test.txt http://127.0.0.1:8080/router/rest/1

controller code

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/router/rest")
public class BaseController {

    @RequestMapping("1")
    public Mono<String> mono(){
        return Mono.just("111");
    }
}

lots of boundedElastic-evictor TIMED_WAITING make memory up obvious.

finally

Switching to version 2.3.7 resolved

Can you provide more details around "no quantity limit nuboundedElastic-evictor thread"? I'm also not sure what you mean by "make memory up obvious".

after send 1000 request ,the program create 1000 thread name "boundedElastic-evictor" and java memory from 50M increase to 500M

+1
Spring boot 2.4.0 + Webflux has just the same issue.

I still need this. For example a snippet of how you configure this.

[rstoyanchev]

Actually is it possible to provide a sample app? It's unclear where the boundedElastic use comes from.

Below is all the code, no additional configuration：

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/router/rest")
@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @RequestMapping("1")
    public Mono<String> mono(){
        return Mono.just("111");
    }
}

Below is the thread stack. You can tell from the stack log where boundedElastic came from.
