> {{HintsWriteExecutor}} allocates a 256 KiB direct buffer that every write 
> task shares:
> {code:java}
> writeBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE);
> {code}
> {{shutdownBlocking}} shuts the executor down and leaves the buffer allocated. 
> A process that shuts the hints service down and starts it again loses 256 KiB 
> of direct memory each time. The in-JVM test framework does exactly that, once 
> per instance restart, so a long dtest run holds direct memory that no 
> instance can use.
> A node shutdown in production ends the process, so the priority is Low; the 
> cost falls on the test framework and on any other caller that restarts the 
> service in one process.
> The patch releases the buffer with {{FileUtils.clean}} after the executor 
> terminates. The release waits for termination, because a write task that 
> still runs holds the buffer, and a shutdown that gives up after its minute 
> reports the buffer it keeps rather than freeing memory a task may write to.
> Patch: 
> [mck/CASSANDRA-21657/5.0|https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra/tree/mck/CASSANDRA-21657/5.0]
> Provenance: 
> [00003d27fa|https://github.com/datastax/cassandra/commit/00003d27faf2241245436d9440d740e1cd18aaa8]
>  by [~jlewandowski]. That commit releases the buffer in a {{finally}} block 
> and carries further work on the buffer pool and on the in-JVM instance 
> shutdown, which this patch leaves out. The {{finally}} block frees the buffer 
> even when a write task is still running, so this patch tests the termination 
> result instead, and adds the regression test the commit lacks.
