---------------------------------------

             Summary: CursorUtil Needs to Use a ConcurrentHashMap rather than 
HashMap
                 Key: PHOENIX-4860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4860
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0, 4.13.1, 4.14.0
            Reporter: Jack Steenkamp
         Attachments: CursorUtil.patch

in very rare cases, when dealing with Apache Phoenix Cursors, the following 
NullPointerException is encountered:

java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at org.apache.phoenix.util.CursorUtil.updateCursor(CursorUtil.java:179)
at 
org.apache.phoenix.iterate.CursorResultIterator.next(CursorResultIterator.java:46)
at org.apache.phoenix.jdbc.PhoenixResultSet.next(PhoenixResultSet.java:779)

(This is for 4.13.1 - but seems that
org.apache.phoenix.util.CursorUtil has not changed, at the time of writing, 
since first being introduced as part of PHOENIX-3572).

Upon closer inspection it would seem that on line 124 of CursorUtil, a
HashMap is used to keep state which is then exposed via a number of
static methods, which, one has to assume, can be accessed by many
different threads. Using a plain old HashMap in cases like these can cause 
issues.

The mapCursorIDQuery member should be a ConcurrentHashMap instead? That should 
tighten up the class and prevent any potential inconsistencies.
