Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-607:
--------------------------------

Yeah, the 
[{{getSchema}}|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/specific/SpecificData.java#L214]
 method is public, so you could synchronize calls to it with your classes.

> SpecificData.getSchema not thread-safe

> 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.
