Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7435:
--------------------------------------

With this patch TestHFileBlock takes up tp 2.2g of resident heap, whereas without this patch it takes only 700mb.

> That seems to be bug in Hadoop, actually.
> BuiltInGzipDecompressor.end() needs to be called to release it's resource, but it is not called anywhere in CodecPool.
> Instead the end() is called by finalize(), which is only called during a full gc (or never, depending on JVM).
> This is only an issue in test. In real life most folks will have the native GzipDecompressor
