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

             Summary: Race condition in view creation may allow conflicting 
changes for pre-4.15 clients and for scenarios with 
phoenix.allow.system.catalog.rollback=true
                 Key: PHOENIX-6190
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6190
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.15.0, 5.0.0
            Reporter: Chinmay Kulkarni
             Fix For: 5.1.0, 4.16.0


For pre-4.15 clients and in scenarios where 
phoenix.allow.system.catalog.rollback=true, we have to block adding/dropping a 
column to/from a parent table/view as we no longer lock the parent on the 
server side while creating a child view to prevent conflicting changes. This is 
handled on the client side from 4.15 onwards.

However, there is a slight race condition here where a view may be created 
between the time we find all children of the parent and the time we do this 
check (see 
[this|https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/264310bd1e6c14996c3cfb11557fc66a012cb01b/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/coprocessor/MetaDataEndpointImpl.java#L2592]).
