Hoss Man commented on SOLR-914:
-------------------------------

IndexWriter.close() is very cheap *if* the IndexWriter is already closed ... if 
it's not already closed, then doing so in the finalize() method is our last 
resort. (but I would think a patch to IndexWriter to make it explicitly 
implement an "isClosed() method would certainly be nice to help keep the code 
clean and make it possible to log a warning).

Ditto for ConcurrentLRUCache ... finalize calls destroy which sets the stop 
flag and notifies the thread ... calling destroy() again shouldn't be that 
expensive if the client has already called it (which FastLRUCache does) -- but 
changing the code to record when destroy() has been called, and log a warning 
in finalize if it hasn't been called yet (then calling it) seems like a good 
idea.

> There seems to be a number of classes - that implement finalize() method.  
> Given that it is perfectly ok for a Java VM to not to call it - may be - 
> there has to some other way  { try .. finally - when they are created to 
> destroy them } to destroy them and the presence of finalize() method , ( 
> depending on implementation ) might not serve what we want and in some cases 
> can end up delaying the gc process, depending on the algorithms. 
> $ find . -name *.java | xargs grep finalize
