Thanks for reporting.
ParallelApplyTxnHash is used to cache the state of streaming transactions being applied. There could be multiple streaming transactions being applied in parallel and their information were already saved in ParallelApplyTxnHash, so we should not release them just because we don't have a worker available to handle a new transaction here.

Hi,
/* First time through, initialize parallel apply worker state hashtable. */
if (!ParallelApplyTxnHash)
I think it would be better if `ParallelApplyTxnHash` is created by the first successful parallel apply worker.
Please take a look at the new patch and see if it makes sense.
