Memory leak of TString.tensorOf(Shape shape, DataBuffer<String> data)

Beginne damit, die bereitgestellte Java-Reproduktion rund um TString.tensorOf(Shape, DataBuffer) und DataBuffers.ofObjects(result) auszuführen, und untersuche anschließend, wie TString.close() Ressourcen freigibt. Vergleiche das Speicherverhalten bei den Iterationsfällen 4, 8192 und 65536. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn wiederholt erstellte und geschlossene TString-Instanzen nicht mehr zu einem unerwarteten Anstieg der Speichernutzung führen.

Describe the current behavior
When I create and destroy TString instances repeatedly in a for loop, memory usage grows. In my production environment, where a TF model is served by a java service, it would cause memory usage alert after processing certain amount of requests.

Describe the expected behavior
Memory usage should not grow since created TString instances are closed in each iteration.

Code to reproduce the issue

    @Test
    void testPerformance() throws Exception {
        // Some code to load a model but never used it in this test case. Otherwise, the following code would exit randomly. See https://github.com/tensorflow/java/issues/370 .
        final String[] result = new String[] {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "c", "c", "c"};
        for (int i = 0; i < 65536; ++i) {
            try (final TString tstring = TString.tensorOf(Shape.of(1, result.length), DataBuffers.ofObjects(result))) {
               // this block is empty.
            }
        }
  }

Other info / logs
4 iterations

8192 iterations

65536 iterations

The above are IntelliJ IDEA's memory profiling screenshots. The differences are as following:

• The first was recorded when the for loop runs 4 iterations (; i < 4; ...). The TString.tensorOf calls only use 2% memory of its parent call.
• The second wass recorded when the for loop runs 8192 iterations (; i < 8192; ...). The TString.tensorOf calls use 49.05% memory of its parent call.
• The third was recorded when the for loop runs 65536 iterations (; i < 65536; ...). The TString.tensorOf calls use up to 83.56% memory of its parent call.
