@dotansimha Although I hope we can prevent torn-down ObservableQuery objects from remaining in memory unnecessarily, I agree this blunt approach seems like a worthwhile extra layer of defense.

@benjamn when an observable query is re-observed, it seems to come back to life (I don't know the exact details of this mechanism, but it's happening in my app). In this case however, the context has been deleted, so the query is incorrectly running without the originally specified context. I think this PR should be backed out. The context memory will be freed with the ObservableQuery is garbage collected. |

Thanks to @francisu for pushing back on the reasoning behind #7276: #7276 (comment) Thanks to #7661, we now have a system for programmatically testing garbage collection of discarded objects, so we can actually enforce the expectation that the whole ObservableQuery is garbage collected after the last subscriber is removed (which tears down the ObservableQuery and removes it from the QueryManager).

Hi @benjamn
This PR should ensure that even if
ObservableInforemains in memory, it won't hold a reference to user-objectcontextafter tear-down.The background is a memory-leak we are chasing in a large-scale app. I think the existence of the
contextreference in Apollo just makes it harder to detect, since it retaining it with no reason.I think even in a use-case of
subscribeover awatchQueryobservable, withoutunsubscribingreproduces that, since Apollo isn't removing theObservableQuerywhile there are subscribers.
