Hi,

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/JDK-8028564-concurrent-resize/webrev/

This patch is contributed by Doug Lea and fixes two issues found in 
ConcurrentHashMap:

  1) A problem with concurrent resizes; and

  2) The skipping of elements when traversing through bins that are trees of 
entries.

Both of these issues can result in elements "disappearing" from the map, either 
because an update operation such as put failed, or because a contains operation 
failed to find the entry in the map.

Issue 1) was causing stream tests to fail intermittently on systems with many 
cores (24 to 32) (furthermore the CHM-based JDK test ToArray was also 
intermittently failing with less frequency). 

After some investigation the cause was distilled down to the use of 
ConcurrentHashMap in the F/J task used by Stream.forEachOrdered. 

Issue 2) was serendipitously reported on concurrentcy-interest just yesterday 
:-)

Both issues have test cases associated with them that have been tuned to 
reproduce on systems with low cores i.e. my MacBook!

Paul.
