             Summary: Track sensitive resources to ensure they are closed and assist devs in finding leaks.
                 Key: HBASE-23918
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23918
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mark Robert Miller


Closing some objects is quite critical. Issues with leaks can be quite slippery and nasty and growy. Maintaining close integrity is an embarrassing sport for humans.

In the past, those 3 thoughts led me to start tracking objects in tests to alert of leaks. Even with an alert though, the job of tracking down all of the leaks just based on what leaked was beyond my skill. If it's beyond even one devs skill that is committing, that tends to end up trouble. So I added the stack trace for the origin of the object. Things can still get a bit tricky to track down in some cases, but now I had the start of a real solution to all of the whack-a-mole games I spent too much time playing.
