             Summary: Provide resource cleanup via static utility rather than Instance.close
                 Key: ACCUMULO-2128
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2128
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
            Reporter: Sean Busbey
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.4.5, 1.5.1, 1.6.0


After [discussion about the current state of our code base and the need to properly clean up global resources|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/accumulo-dev/201401.mbox/%3CCAGHyZ6JsKn6AuTpD5A6FFbgF1KY1fshGTvbe7rkhnVyRA5Sc%2Bw%40mail.gmail.com%3E], consensus is that we need to provide a work around for now that doesn't rely on API changes.

Later, when we refactor the client api we'll include proper lifecycle management, for now we just need a global utility for unloading.

This ticket needs to revert all commits from the Instance close work: ACCUMULO-1379, ACCUMULO-1697, ACCUMULO-1858, ACCUMULO-2027, ACCUMULO-1889, and ACCUMULO-2105

Also ACCUMULO-1923 can be closed as wontfix with a link here.

Then we need a version of the solution outlined in ACCUMULO-2113 that does not rely on reflection, if possible.
