[DIG-users] releaseKB problem

[hui z. <zh...@cs...>]

Hi All,

I tried to release KBs after doing some queries, but I found that the 
function of <releaseKB> is only to stop me continuing querying on this 
KB. The memory which is occupied by the KB is not released.

I did some tests on RacerPro and Pellet. They all have the same problem: 
memory is not released. In the tests, I tried 2 methods: one is to use 
DIG-API; the other is to use dig_client. All the results displayed that 
the memory is not released in both methods. Whether I release KB, the 
memory occupied by the reasoner increases by telling KB.

Now I am confused the function of <releaseKB>. Is it only designed to 
stop the connection to the KB without freeing the memory which is 
occupied by the KB in reasoner?

Hope someone can make me clear. Thanks!

Regards,

Hui
