rmetzger opened a new pull request #13355: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/13355
## What is the purpose of the change Sometimes we can't unload the usercode classloader because there are still some references around that prevent garbage collection. The FlinkKinesisProducer is causing such a problem. By adding the release hooks to Flink, we can register a hook for calling `AwsSdkMetrics.unregisterMetricAdminMBean()` prior to closing the classloader. This change only adds the hook into Flink, it does not yet register a hook for Kinesis, because there's another [problem](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/issues/308) in Kinesis that we need to solve first.
