> I noticed during a run of suites.All that one database instance never got
> garbage collected, even after it had been shut down. It turned out it could
> not get garbage collected because it was still referenced from the static
> HashMap _connections in ForeignTableVTI. Looking closer at ForeignTableVTI,
> it looks as if it only calls put() and get() on the HashMap, never remove(),
> so its memory footprint will keep increasing as it is used.
> It would be good to have some way (preferably automatic) of releasing the
> resources held by ForeignTableVTI when they are no longer needed.
