What changed?
Dynamic config values are kept in a map to be compared against previous values for logging purposes. This log was not used in practice at all. It requires huge amounts of memory to keep the last snapshot of all evaluated dynamic config values. The underlying map has no retention so keys like "{configname}{domain}{workflowid}" increase cardinality and stay there forever.
This issue was identified when pprof of a high memory usage history service instance was inspected. The call stack initiated by replication task processor ends up calling
GetBoolPropertyFilteredbyDomainIDAndWorkflowID
which populates the underlying logValues map per workflow keys that never get deleted.Why?
Avoid wasting memory and prevent leaks for unused logs.
