In product, one job may use multiple different udf jar, so in your way, here will be multiple CL existing at the same time. In [FLIP-91](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-91%3A+Support+SQL+Gateway) & [FLIP-223](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-223%3A+Support+HiveServer2+Endpoint), community will introduce gateway component which is a long running service, and responsible for compile and submit sql, the gateway also need to use this MutableURLClassLoader to add jar dynamically. If we create a new CL when add a jar every time, as the time go, there likely have a CL leak due to classloader is not guaranteed to be closed. Spark & Hive both also `MutableURLClassLoader` which expose the `addURL` method to support Add Jar for hive server. In addition, Spark also use the `MutableURLClassLoader` in `Executor` to load dependent jar of the job during distribution execution phase. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
