Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-4214:
----------------------------------------

I think unless we suspend a thread or the JVM is shutting down, the finally will get executed. (the documentation, however, is a bit unclear on this)

> PHOENIX-3111 introduced a scan reference counter which is checked during region preSplit and preClose.  However, a steady stream of UPSERT SELECT or DELETE can keep the count above 0 indefinitely, preventing or greatly delaying a region split or close.
> We should try to avoid starvation of the split / close request, and fail/reject queries where appropriate.
