Due to how we are forced to add the hooks to flush logger buffers to disk
before shutdown, even in the case of failures or SIGTERM, close can run
WHILE the constructor is in the middle of executing. All of the resources
except for the logger can be freed by python, but the logger requires
special handling, so we check if it is null and then flush the buffers to
disk if it is not. The actual logger object is only assigned to self.logger
after it is completely initalized, so if it's not null, then it is in a
good state and can be safely flushed. Here's a sequence of events that
would lead to that check being needed:
1. Start constructing logging handle
2. Execute first line of the constructor
3. SIGTERM
self.logger == None, since the entire world stops and moves to the cleanup
functions registered with the interpreter. If we don't do this check, then
the cleanup context crashes in this case.
