>    Affects Versions: 1.8.2
>            Reporter: Holger Fleischmann

> The constructor {{DataFileReader(File, DatumReader)}} does not close the already opened file again when it throws an exception. This leads to a leaked file descriptor and especially to not being able to delete the still open invalid file then (at least on Windows).
> This case is important when Avro files may be truncated on write, e.g. due to a hard shutdown, and the application must be able to recover from such a situation on the next restart.
> Please see the attached file {{DataFileReaderCloseBug.java}} to reproduce the problem.
> I did not find that problem in Jira/mailing lists. Thanks for your help in advance :)
