> {{DFSOutputStream#close}} can throw an {{IOException}} in some cases. One
> example is if there is a pipeline error and then pipeline recovery fails.
> Unfortunately, in this case, some of the resources used by the
> {{DFSOutputStream}} are leaked. One particularly important resource is file
> leases.
> So it's possible for a long-lived HDFS client, such as Flume, to write many
> blocks to a file, but then fail to close it. Unfortunately, the
> {{LeaseRenewerThread}} inside the client will continue to renew the lease for
> the "undead" file. Future attempts to close the file will just rethrow the
> previous exception, and no progress can be made by the client.
