    I have some concerns about throwing an exception here:
    
    First, does it make sense to fail the query when `deleteOnExit()` fails ? 
shouldn't we just log a warning. After all, if all goes well, this folder will 
get deleted in the close method.
    
    Second, if this exception throws we'll be leaking memory because we'll skip 
clearing batchGroupList and hyperBatch
