 Review comment:
   `bucket` is non-final, and `Cmd + Alt + F7` shows there is only one 
assignment in `initializeState()`. One reason why `buckets` can be `null` is 
that `initializeState()` is not called at all. Another reason is that 
`initializeState()` exits prematurely due to exceptions. 
   If there were more things to be closed, we would need more null checks, and 
I would not add a comment to every null check. Hence, I would also not add a 
comment when there is only a single null check. Imo a comment could be 
perceived as too verbose because the necessity of the check is simple enough to 
understand.
