Description

The "preCreateTable" method in the HBaseStorageHandler checks that the HBase table is still online by creating a new instance of HTable

// ensure the table is online
new HTable(hbaseConf, tableDesc.getName());

However this instance is never closed. So if this test succeeds, we would have a resource leak in the code.
