> PartitionSenderRootExec creates a PartitionerDecorator and saves it in the 
> *partitioner* field. The creation of the partitioner happens in the 
> createPartitioner method. This method get's called by the main fragment 
> thread. The partitioner field is accessed by the fragment thread during 
> normal execution but it can also be accessed by the receivingFragmentFinished 
> method which is a callback executed by the event processor thread. Because 
> multiple threads can access the partitioner field synchronization is done on 
> creation and on when receivingFragmentFinished. However, the close method can 
> also be called by the event processor thread, and the close method does not 
> synchronize before accessing the partitioner field. Since synchronization is 
> not done the event processor thread may have an old reference to the 
> partitioner when a query cancellation is done. Since it has an old reference 
> the current partitioner can may not be cleared and a memory leak may occur.
