             Summary: Iteration on KeyProviderFactory.serviceLoader  is 
thread-unsafe
                 Key: HADOOP-10826
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10826
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Benoy Antony
            Assignee: Benoy Antony


KeyProviderFactory uses _ServiceLoader_ framework to load _KeyProviderFactory_
{code}
  private static final ServiceLoader<KeyProviderFactory> serviceLoader =
      ServiceLoader.load(KeyProviderFactory.class);
{code}
The _ServiceLoader_ framework does lazy initialization of services which makes 
it thread unsafe. If accessed from multiple threads, it is better to 
synchronize the access.
Similar synchronization has been done while loading compression codec providers 
via HADOOP-8406.
