Description

BatchWriter, ConditionalWriter, Scanner, and BatchScanner all have close Methods. Howerver because they do not implement AutoCloseable they can not be used with try-with-resources.

It would be simple to add AutoCloseable to all of these. I think this change should only be made in a minor release because it allows writing code that will not work with older versions.
