Unless you need 'out' later, have this statement.
FileWriter out(restartMeta);
then when exiting the try block, 'out' will go out of scope

i assume this FileWriter that is create is delete'd else where
(else there is a memory leak). {but then this code snippet could be java and can be messy.}

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

              Summary: FileWriter should be closed in finally block in 
BlockReceiver#receiveBlock()
                  Key: HDFS-6902
                  URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6902
              Project: Hadoop HDFS
           Issue Type: Bug
             Reporter: Ted Yu
             Priority: Minor


Here is code starting from line 828:
{code}
             try {
               FileWriter out = new FileWriter(restartMeta);
               // write out the current time.
               out.write(Long.toString(Time.now() + restartBudget));
               out.flush();
               out.close();
             } catch (IOException ioe) {
{code}
If write() or flush() call throws IOException, out wouldn't be closed.
