Thedestroy() method of theSummarizer interface releases the resources assigned to theSummarizer instance it is called on and stops any further activity on it. This means that any ongoing and subsequent method calls made on theSummarizer will reject with anAbortError.
It makes sense to destroySummarizer objects if they are no longer being used, as they tie up significant resources in their handling.
