https://github.com/apache/carbondata/pull/1948 [CARBONDATA-2143] Fixed query memory leak issue for task failure during initialization of record reader
**Problem:**
Whenever a query is executed, in the internalCompute method of CarbonScanRdd class record reader is initialized. A task completion listener is attached to each task after initialization of the record reader.
During record reader initialization, queryResultIterator is initialized and one blocklet is processed. The blocklet processed will use available unsafe memory.
Lets say there are 100 columns and 80 columns get the space but there is no space left for the remaining columns to be stored in the unsafe memory. This will result is memory exception and record reader initialization will fail leading to failure in query.
In the above case the unsafe memory allocated for 80 columns will not be freed and will always remain occupied till the JVM process persists.
**Impact**
It is memory leak in the system and can lead to query failures for queries executed after one one query fails due to the above reason.
**Solution:**
Attach the task completion listener before record reader initialization so that if the query fails at the very first instance after using unsafe memory, still that memory will be cleared.

Fixed memory leak issue. In case of any task failure unsafe memory for that task in not getting cleared from the executor if the task fails
during initialization of the record reader
