Preserve dictionaries during storage shutdown to avoid errors
Preserve dictionaries until storage shutdown (this will avoid possibleexternal dictionary 'DICT' not founderrors at server shutdown during final flush of theBufferengine). #24068 (Azat Khuzhin).
Why it matters
This feature addresses the issue where external dictionaries are unloaded too early during server shutdown, causing errors when theBuffer engine tries to flush its data and access these dictionaries. By preserving the dictionaries until storage shutdown, it ensures a clean and error-free server shutdown process.
