             Summary: Add finalize to TabletServerBatchReader to catch when 
user forgets to close
                 Key: ACCUMULO-587
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-587
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client
            Reporter: Dennis Patrone
            Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
            Priority: Trivial


If a client forgets to close a BatchScanner or BatchDeleter, threads are leaked 
in the TabletServerBatchReader implementation.  It would be nice if a finalize 
method were added to check and warn the user of such a problem. The thread pool 
appeared to only be shared with the TabletServerBatchReaderIterator, which 
maintains a reference to the TabletServerBatchReader itself.  So AFAICT if the 
TabletServerBatchReader is eligible for garbage collection, there can be no 
client references to that scanner or any iterators it created (i.e., it 
_should_ have been closed).

For example:

{code}
protected void finalize() {
   if (!queryThreadPool.isShutdown()) {
      // add a logger reference in class initialization
      log.warn("TabletServerBatchReader not shutdown; did you forget to call 
close()?");
      close();
   }
}
{code}

The same might be true for the TabletServerBatchWriter (it has a close), but I 
didn't look into that class.
