[FLINK-9087] [runtime] close the BufferConsumer in RecordWriter.broad⦠## What is the purpose of the change BufferConsumer is Closeable, we'd better close it at last, ## Brief change log RecordWriter.broadcastEvent() is called in StreamTask., RecordWriterOutput ,IterationIntermediateTask and IterationHeadTaskbroadcastEvent, also notice that no one make use of the BufferConsumer returned by broadcastEvent(), so i think the better way to close the return value in RecordWriter. change the method signature from BufferConsumer to voidï¼ and close the BufferConsumer in the end. ## Verifying this change This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
