> The SpanningRecordSerializer creates large byte arrays to buffer records
> during serialization. Since they never release the records, they may occupy a
> large amount of memory. Currently, we use one per output partition, which is
> due to the original architecture.
> There are two ways to fix this:
> 1. Use only one serializer per output, rather than one per output partition.
> This is the preferable way in the long run anyways.
> 2. Release the arrays in the serializer (quick fix).
