I'm worried about ExtensionManager. It is effectively a fully static
class, hence a de-facto singleton.
But the implementor seems under the impression that by making all top-level
static fields "final", that somehow makes it threadsafe.
Which is blatantly untrue, since those fields contain data structures that
are not immutable, and in most cases not concurrent.
Also, it probably currently works because it is only called once at startup
time. But I'm concerned what happens if it gets called from multiple
topologies running in the same VM. And it certainly won't work for dynamic
addition of bundles during runtime.
Let me emphasize again: This class is NOT threadsafe. @ottobackwards , if
you believe it needs to be threadsafe, then please do a reset and discuss with
me how to fix this. If it's probably okay for current usages, then it is
sufficient to mention it for improvement in a jira. Do you think METRON-1100
is an okay place for such mention, or should we open another jira?
