What to do
Workaround: The session usage is intrinsic to the design of the PushCacheFilter. The issue can be avoided by: * not using the PushCacheFilter. Push has been deprecated by the various IETF specs and early hints responses should be used instead. * reducing the reducing the idle timeout on unauthenticated sessions will reduce the time such session stay in memory. * configuring a session cache to use session passivation https://jetty.org/docs/jetty/12/programming-guide/server/session.html , so that sessions are not stored in memory, but rather in a database or file system that may have significantly more capacity than memory.
