Do I understand correctly that the problem is not with the `DataFileReader` creation, but some other initialization in the `AvroGenericRecordReader`? Basically what we want to do is make sure that we free up the resources if the `AvroGenericRecordReader` creation is unsuccessful? Then I do not understand the importance of the `nonFinalReader`. Could we just set the reader at creation? Later, if it is set but there is an exception then just close it before rethrowing the exception? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
