[jira] [Commented] (CSV-197) CSVParser doesn't close the underlying handle after iteration

["Aaron Digulla (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15962786#comment-15962786 ] 

Aaron Digulla commented on CSV-197:
-----------------------------------

I have never seen a Java library/framework which will close streams that were opened by the user. If you open a stream, you're responsible to close it.

What you actually need is a framework which tracks the open streams (and where they were opened) and which warns about leaked resources you when the VM terminates. I would close this as won't fix/works as designed.

> The following code leaks file handles:
> {code}
> CSVParser parser = // setup parser
> for (CSVRecord rec: parser) {
> }
> // leak
> {code}
> I'd expect the underlying iterator to close() if it's finished iterating.
