Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-16635: ----------------------------------- The cleanupConnection does not need to throw Exception as the release method does not throw any exception. And you can use ReferenceCountUtil.safeRelease if you want to make sure there is no exception thrown. And for SaslWrapHandler, we need to release the ByteBuf create by calling queue.remove, not the wrapped ByteBuf. The wrapped ByteBuf will be released when actually writing out. And we also need to override the disconnect method to release the ByteBuf buffered in queue.

Not sure > if it is a serious issue but we get this log > {code} > 2016-09-14 19:37:09,767 ERROR [Default-IPC-NioEventLoopGroup-1-16] > util.ResourceLeakDetector: LEAK: ByteBuf.release() was not called before it's > garbage-collected.
