Jark Wu commented on FLINK-19064: --------------------------------- What [~rmetzger] said makes sense to me. {{configure()}} is not a recommended method to create connection. According to the Javadoc, we should override the {{openInputFormat()}} to allocate resources and release them in {{closeInputFormat()}}. > HBaseRowDataInputFormat is leaking resources > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-19064 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19064 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Connectors / HBase > Affects Versions: 1.12.0 > Reporter: Robert Metzger > Priority: Critical > > {{HBaseRowDataInputFormat.configure()}} is calling {{connectToTable()}}, > which creates a connection to HBase that is not closed again. > A user reported this problem on the user@ list: > https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ra04f6996eb50ee83aabd2ad0d50bec9afb6a924bfbb48ada3269c6d8%40%3Cuser.flink.apache.org%3E -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
