Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2738: ----------------------------------------- I don't see how this fixes the issue. Tracing the {{releaseExternalResources}} calls only shows a bunch of buffers being cleared up. It is nice to clear up memory, but where are the sockets or FDs being closed/nulled out? I don't see that anywhere in the {{releaseExternalResources}} call chain. > Async HBase sink FD leak on client shutdown > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLUME-2738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2738 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Johny Rufus > Assignee: Johny Rufus > Attachments: FLUME-2738.patch > > > Currently every time Async Hbase Sink calls HBaseSink.shutdown, there is FD > leak due to HBaseSink using CustomChannelFactory where > releaseExternalResources() is overridden to a No-op.
