Bugs: AMBARI-19364
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-19364


Repository: ambari


Description
-------

Recently I noticed that collections coming back from JPA were using a 
{{Vector}} as their concrete collection. This seems very wrong as {{Vector}} is 
a completely synchronized collection. 

Tracing through EclipseLink, it seems like this really only affects 
[ReadAllQuery|http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.eclipse.persistence/eclipselink/2.5.2/org/eclipse/persistence/queries/ReadAllQuery.java/#68].
 Essentially, EclipseLink uses  a 
[ContainerPolicy|http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.eclipse.persistence/eclipselink/2.5.2/org/eclipse/persistence/internal/queries/ContainerPolicy.java#ContainerPolicy]
 to determine how the result set should be collected. There are policies for 
{{Vector}}, {{ArrayList}}, {{HashSet}}, etc. 

The interesting part here is that this really only affects the {{ReadAllQuery}} 
which is used by JPA's {{Query#getResultList()}} ... anytime it needs to create 
a collection of entities, it's going to use a {{Vector}}.

There's actually very little documentation on this. In fact, the only way to 
change this is either set a global value for the default container policy, or 
set a per-query policy. An example of setting the global policy would be:

{code}
public class EclipseLinkSessionCustomizer implements SessionCustomizer {

  /**
   * {@inheritDoc}
   * <p/>
   * This class exists for quick customization purposes.
   */
  @Override
  public void customize(Session session) throws Exception {
    // ensure db behavior is same as shared cache
    DatabaseLogin databaseLogin = (DatabaseLogin) session.getDatasourceLogin();
    
databaseLogin.setTransactionIsolation(DatabaseLogin.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED);

    // for some reason, read-all queries use a Vector as their container for
    // result items - this seems like an unnecessary performance hit since
    // Vectors are synchronized and there's no apparent reason to provide a
    // thread-safe collection on a read all query
    
ContainerPolicy.setDefaultContainerClass(CoreClassConstants.ArrayList_class);
  }
}
{code}

This indeed causes collections returned by queries to be backed by ArrayLists. 

There is some discussion on this topic already:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=255634

It seems like this was kept as a {{Vector}} purely for backward compatibility 
reasons.

Testing
-------

Ran a full deployment and didn't see any issues. Verfied that ArrayList are 
returned in `ReadAllQuery` instead of Vector.
