Actually I see a bigger problem from finalize not being guaranteed. As guava 
does not use a separate thread to clean up cache entries, the object will never 
get finalized. 

 Imagine a pig run. It access the hive client for around a min before the job 
is launched. It never accesses it after that. Guava does not remove entries 
from cache unless the cache is being accessed (it does not use a different 
thread). So the entry will remain in the cache forever and never get 
finalized/closed.
