Christian Kohlschütter commented on LUCENE-4713:
------------------------------------------------
Overlap and coverage, Uwe :)
One thing is still unclear to me. Given loader is null, in SPIClassIterator
line 143 we call Class.forName with a null ClassLoader.
However (at least in the Oracle 1.7 JDK)
Class#forName(String,boolean,ClassLoader) does not use
ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader but ClassLoader#getCallerClassLoader instead
(which IMHO contradicts the JavaDocs description, where they claim to use the
bootstrap classloader...)
Given that it is very unlikely that we're running into any problems with
bootstrap resources, I would actually just check for loader==null in
SPIClassIterator and assign loader=ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() in this
case. This will use the System ClassLoader by default and only falls back to
getCallerClassLoader if there is no System ClassLoader.

> Key: LUCENE-4713

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0, 4.1, 4.2
> Reporter: Christian Kohlschütter
> Assignee: Uwe Schindler
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: ClassLoader, Thread
> Fix For: 4.3

> Attachments: LUCENE-4713.patch, LUCENE-4713.patch, LUCENE-4713.patch,
> LUCENE-4713.patch, LUCENE-4713.patch, LUCENE-4713.patch,
> LuceneContextClassLoader.patch
>
>
> NOTE: This issue has been renamed from:
> "Replace calls to Thread#getContextClassLoader with the ClassLoader of the
> current class"
> because the revised patch provides a clean fallback path.
> I am not sure whether it is a design decision or if we can indeed consider
> this a bug:
> In core and analysis-common some classes provide on-demand class loading
> using SPI. In NamedSPILoader, SPIClassIterator, ClasspathResourceLoader and
> AnalysisSPILoader there are constructors that use the Thread's context
> ClassLoader by default whenever no particular other ClassLoader was specified.
> Unfortunately this does not work as expected when the Thread's ClassLoader
> can't see the required classes that are instantiated downstream with the help
> of Class.forName (e.g., Codecs, Analyzers, etc.).
> That's what happened to us here. We currently experiment with running Lucene
> 2.9 and 4.x in one JVM, both being separated by custom ClassLoaders, each
> seeing only the corresponding Lucene version and the upstream classpath.
> While NamedSPILoader and company get successfully loaded by our custom
> ClassLoader, their instantiation fails because our Thread's
> Context-ClassLoader cannot find the additionally required classes.
> We could probably work-around this by using Thread#setContextClassLoader at
> construction time (and quickly reverting back afterwards), but I have the
> impression this might just hide the actual problem and cause further trouble
> when lazy-loading classes later on, and potentially from another Thread.
> Removing the call to Thread#getContextClassLoader would also align with the
> behavior of AttributeSource.DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE_FACTORY, which in fact uses
> Attribute#getClass().getClassLoader() instead.
> A simple patch is attached. All tests pass.
