 Review comment:
   > If we get a `null` to release, why can't we just skip it? I think it's a 
defensive code not a bug. Or can you post some bad situation about this?
   
   Hi Aitozi, thanks a lot for your comment. The JavaDoc for this method 
declares "@throws NullPointerException Thrown, if the given collection is 
null." So we should either throw an NPE, or change the JavaDoc, to make it 
consistent. 
   By referencing other methods in this class, I think it is preferable to make 
the method throw NPE, because the methods should follow a consistent style.
