Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-865: ------------------------------------ I'd keep the synchronization on "this", as it also covers the add() method call that modifies more than just the types map. More broadly, is there a real measurable performance bottleneck here? If not, I'd rather optimize for code clarity and simplicity. > MimeTypes.forName should avoid method-level synchronization > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-865 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-865 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mime > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki > > MimeTypes.forName can avoid method-level sync, instead it could push down the > sync block only if a modification of Map<MediaType,MimeType> types is > required. In most cases this should be enough to free the common case (i.e. > when a media type is already registered) from synchronization. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
