{quote}Curious, once leaked, is there any other existing means healing it?

> Key: HBASE-22460
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22460
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
>
> We can leak store reader references if a coprocessor or core function somehow
> opens a scanner, or wraps one, and then does not take care to call close on
> the scanner or the wrapped instance. A reasonable mitigation for a reader
> reference leak would be a fast reopen of the region on the same server
> (initiated by the RS) This will release all resources, like the refcount,
> leases, etc. The clients should gracefully ride over this like any other
> region transition. This reopen would be like what is done during schema
> change application and ideally would reuse the relevant code. If the refcount
> is over some ridiculous threshold this mitigation could be triggered along
> with a fat WARN in the logs.
