We need two locks, one to protect the local reference to the block, and one 
to protect the shared cache object. I was thinking of the former.

Do you mean switching `TorrentBroadcast.synchronized` to 
`broadcastCache.synchronized` inside `readBroadcastBlock`, or changing 
`this.synchronized` to `broadcastCache.synchronized` inside `getValue()` (and 
getting rid of the lock in `readBroadcastBlock`?

Hm, that `TorrentBroadcast.synchronized` is from a very old version of the 
code in 2013, when more things used that lock. I'm pretty certain it's 
obsolete. However this code accesses broadcastCache and that needs 
synchronization. (It's kind of unfortunate where this object is). I think we 
could actually improve this by locking on broadcastCache for basically the 
whole block. I think that's a safe improvement as nothing else uses 
broadcastCache, nothing else is synchronized here, and should behave just the 
same.

I think we can remove the `TorrentBroadcast.synchronized` in 
`readBroadcastBlock`, since we're already synchronizing in its only caller? 
Though I'm not sure why it was necessary in the first place, as 
`readBroadcastBlock` should only have been called once before this PR.

Regardless, I agree that the perf hit should be ok. Let me know if you want 
any of this changed.

I noticed that below, the readBroadcastBlock() method is synchronized on 
the companion object, which makes me nervous. However a lazy val is also 
implemented with `this.synchronized`, so I suspect this is fine. We pay the 
cost of synchronization on every call now, but I think that is OK here, as a 
simple flag won't help us figure out whether the SoftReference has been cleared.

Hm, weird, I thought it would work based on a little local example, but 
yeah leave the cast in of course.

Good catch. I'll make it synchronized, so it only loads one at a time.

Re: WeakReference, sure, I can change it to SoftReference. That'll be 
closer to the original behavior, and should still give the improvement we want.

When I try with `.asInstanceOf[T]` it fails to compile with:
```
[error]

I suppose there is a race condition here, in that several threads could end 
up simultaneously setting the reference. It won't be incorrect as the data 
ought to be the same. I am not sure of the access pattern for this object; 
maybe it's always single-threaded. But if lots are reading, you can imagine 
them all causing a call to `readBroadcastBlock()` simultaneously.

Introducing another object to lock on is safe and not too much extra 
legwork. Might be worth it.

Isn't WeakReference cleared on any GC? would SoftReference be better to 
hold out until memory is exhausted? to avoid re-reading. There's a tradeoff 
there.

Good idea, just surprisingly full of possible gotchas.

Nit: isn't `val memoized = if (_value == null) null else _value.get` 
sufficient?

[SPARK-25998] [CORE] Change TorrentBroadcast to hold weak reference of 
broadcast object

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR changes the broadcast object in TorrentBroadcast from a strong 
reference to a weak reference. This allows it to be garbage collected even if 
the Dataset is held in memory. This is ok, because the broadcast object can 
always be re-read.

## How was this patch tested?

Tested in Spark shell by taking a heap dump, full repro steps listed in 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25998.
