             Summary: Reconsider the DBB memory leak in the exceptional paths.
                 Key: HBASE-23258
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23258
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Zheng Hu
            Assignee: Zheng Hu


Have a discussion with [~anoop.hbase],  we found still have some exceptional 
paths which we did not handle DBB#release correctly. More details are the 
following: 

{code}
> HFileReaderImpl#validateBlockType - When throws Exception, the get block is 
> gone. Want to return?
Yeah, we've two cases to validateBlockType. one is reading from cache, another 
one is reading from hfile. 
we've abstracted the block for both cache types and hfiles ( ex release the 
block from heap will donothing), so
here seems we should do release if throws IOException.

> Only inside another condition we return and evict block
readBlock - The got block is unused when we throw Exception on DBE type mismatch
Em..we return null finally , seems the block also need to release the block.
{code}

Will take a look around  all the exceptional paths and consider any other DBB 
leak issues.
