Stéphane Landelle created AVRO-1220: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Dead lock Key: AVRO-1220 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1220 Project: Avro Issue Type: Bug Components: java Affects Versions: 1.7.3 Environment: OSX, JDK6 Reporter: Stéphane Landelle I experience a dead lock when running multiple DataFileReader in concurrent threads. See test case here: https://github.com/slandelle/avro-test AvroBinaryEncodingTest randomly stalls about 50% of the time. A thread dump would show a dead lock in org.apache.avro.io.parsing.Symbol class initialization. IHMO, the problem is that the Symbol class has static final members that are instances of Symbol subclasses. I built a custom version of avro where all the constants (NULL, BOOLEAN, INT, etc) have been extracted into a dedicated class outside of Symbol hierarchy and the test case now runs fine.
