> In Tez, when there is container reuse, static variables, thread locals, etc
> have to be reinitialized to avoid memory leak or having wrong values. For the
> short term, we ended up making some of the static variables public or adding
> destroy method to each class which is hacky. Also it does not help users who
> will want something similar to be done in their UDFs or LoadFunc. Need to
> define a interface with a reset/destroy method and find all loaded classes
> implementing that interface and call destroy on them in PigProcessor.close().
> ServiceLoader and annotations are some of the ways to find classes
> implementing an interface and there are other libraries as well. Need to find
> the best and fastest way to do that.
