Description

I have noticed if the database is shutdown various operations on open connections can cause NullPointerExceptions, assertion failures and other issues. The documentation should recommend that existing open connections be closed before shutting down the database or the engine and that unexpected behavior may occur if connections are reused after shutdown.
