---------------------------------------
[~jamestaylor], [[email protected]], we might want to fix the other
occurrences as well.

> We just had an outage because we used preStoreScannerOpen, which, in our
> case, created a new StoreScanner. In HBase versions before 1.3 this caused a
> definite memory leak, a reference to the old StoreScanner (if not null) would
> be held by the store until the region is closed.
> The 1.3 and later there's no such leak, but still the old scanner is not
> properly closed.
> This should be added to the Javadoc and the ZooKeeperScanPolicyObserver
> example should be fixed.
