Lars George commented on HBASE-8946:
------------------------------------

As for the test, we should also add 

{code}
    try {
      // close scanner and check that it was indeed closed
      handler.closeScanner(scanId);
      fail("Scanner id should be invalid");
    } catch (TIllegalArgument e) {
    }
{code}

to check that the scanner is indeed closed implicitly. 

As for the comment, maybe change it to

{noformat}
  /**
   * Closes the scanner. Should be called to free server side resources timely. 
   * Typically close once the scanner is not needed anymore, i.e. after looping
   * over it to get all the required rows.
   */
{noformat}

Makes sense? I am a friend of good and explanatory commenting :)

Otherwise the patch and test apply and run fine, if you could put those final 
touches on it [~madani], that would be great! And a patch for 0.94 at the same 
time? Appreciated :)

> We found, very often we open a scanner , get x number of rows , then close 
> the scanner immediately. The attached patch , add a new function 
> *getScannerResults* that does just that. 
> Using getScannerResults function reduce number of calls to thrift server. 
> Also since the scanner gets closed immediately, it is less prone to cause 
> memory leak.
