Chris Nauroth updated HADOOP-10496:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-10496.1.patch

I found this bug during runs of {{TestFileSink}} on Windows.  The test 
concludes by trying to delete the output file.  On Windows, the delete fails, 
because the file is still held open and locked.

Here is a patch that fixes it.  {{MetricsSink}} is public, and there can be 
custom implementations in the wild.  I didn't want to introduce a 
backwards-incompatibility by defining a {{close}} method right on the 
{{MetricsSink}} interface.  Instead, this patch adds JavaDocs to 
{{MetricsSink}} stating that implementations also may optionally implement 
{{Closeable}}, and then {{MetricsSinkAdapter}} does an instanceof check and 
calls close.

I verified on Mac and Windows.

> {{FileSink}} opens a file.  If the {{MetricsSystem}} is shutdown, then the 
> sink is discarded and the file is never closed, causing a file descriptor 
> leak.
