Description

[Imported from JIRA. Reported by Alexander Vershilov @qnikst) as DP-100 on 2015-01-30 12:04:08]
Currently it's possible to store remote processes in registry, but such processes are not guaranteed to be monitored. So when remote process dies current node will never receive an event about process death so will never free value from registry and this could potentialy lead to memory leaks.

We need to elaborate a good solution for this issue.

Research direction

Start by locating the registry implementation and the code that monitors remote processes, then trace how process-death events are delivered to the current node. Done means agreeing on and implementing a solution that monitors registered remote processes and frees their registry values when they die; no file or test is named in the issue.
