------------------------------------

             Summary: RocksDB objects needs to be disposed after usage
                 Key: KAFKA-3735
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3735
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: streams
            Reporter: Guozhang Wang
            Assignee: Guozhang Wang


The RocksDB JNI interface {{RocksObject}} has a dispose() function which need 
to be explicitly triggered after it is not reused, otherwise GC may not be able 
to de-reference it off-heap and hence effective lead to memory leak. See: 
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/752#issuecomment-146511412

We need to make sure all library-controlled RocksDB objects are disposed after 
usage, and also indicate users to {{close}} those out-of-control objects.
