+ * In earlier versions the {@link Object#finalize} method was overridden and
+ * specified to call the {@code end} method to close the {@code deflater} and
+ * release the resource when the instance becomes unreachable.
+ * The {@code finalize} method is no longer defined. The recommended cleanup
+ * for compressor is to explicitly call {@code end} method when it is no
+ * longer in use.
+ *
+ * @implNote
+ * The resource of the compressor will be released when the instance becomes
+ * phantom-reachable, if the {@code end} is not invoked explicitly.
