------------------------------------

             Summary: Suppress memory leak errors reported by netty
                 Key: SPARK-21181
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21181
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Input/Output
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Dhruve Ashar
            Priority: Minor


We are seeing netty report memory leak erros like the one below after switching 
to 2.1. 

{code}
ERROR ResourceLeakDetector: LEAK: ByteBuf.release() was not called before it's 
garbage-collected. Enable advanced leak reporting to find out where the leak 
occurred. To enable advanced leak reporting, specify the JVM option 
'-Dio.netty.leakDetection.level=advanced' or call 
ResourceLeakDetector.setLevel() See 
http://netty.io/wiki/reference-counted-objects.html for more information.
{code}

Looking a bit deeper, Spark is not leaking any memory here, but it is confusing 
for the user to see the error message in the driver logs. 

After enabling, '-Dio.netty.leakDetection.level=advanced', netty reveals the 
SparkSaslServer to be the source of these leaks.
