Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
In apache/arrow#38318 , a few Flight tests were flakey due to occasionally leaking during cleanup. The leaks were coming from the server's allocator specifically. A workaround is to cleanup child allocators, however it would be best to determine the root cause of the leak and not have to manually clean-up child allocators.
### Component(s)
FlightRPC, Java
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing FlightServer cleanup and its allocator lifecycle in the Java FlightRPC implementation. Review the flaky Flight tests described in apache/arrow#38318 and reproduce the cleanup behavior. Done means identifying and fixing the server allocator leak without manually cleaning up child allocators, with the affected tests passing.
