Xiao Chen updated HADOOP-14524:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
See HADOOP-14523 for motivation. Credit to [[email protected]] for reporting 
initially there.

Basically, the CryptoCodec class is not a closeable, but the 
OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec implementation of it contains a closeable member (the 
Random object). Currently it is left for {{finalize()}} to clean up, this would 
create problems if OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec is used with OsSecureRandom, which 
could let OS run out of FDs on {{/dev/urandom}} if too many codecs created.
