Scott Carey commented on AVRO-607: ---------------------------------- If I recall, that turns out to be very hard due to how the equals contract works with weak references. There is already a Java WeakHashMap, so making one with identity semantics wasn't too hard. We may need thousands of lines of code and might have to implement our own concurrent map implementation. I think I'd rather spend my efforts figuring out how to extract Google's implementation into another namespace in the build with shade, jarjar, or similar. > SpecificData.getSchema not thread-safe > -------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-607 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-607 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.3.3 > Reporter: Stephen Tu > Priority: Minor > Attachments: AVRO-607.patch > > > SpecificData.getSchema uses a WeakHashMap to cache schemas, but WeakHashMap > is not thread-safe, and the method itself is not synchronized. Seems like > this could lead to the data structure getting corrupted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
