Namespace stuck in Terminating state with one finalizer named kubernetes. Where can I find documentation about it?

6/20/2019

I have a Kubernetes namespace that is stuck on Terminating. I've read that it's probably due to finalizers. When I run kubectl get namespace $NAMESPACE -o json I get the following finalizer:

"finalizers": [
    "kubernetes"
]

I can't find any documentation on this finalizer. Is it a built-in Kubernetes finalizers or does it come from somewhere else?

It's kubernetes built-in and is there to ensure all objects are deleted. Is there anything at all in the namespace?

The resolution is here, although this can leave stranded resources
