             Summary: LifecycleTransaction encounters 
ConcurrentModificationException when used in multi-threaded context
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14554
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14554
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dinesh Joshi
            Assignee: Dinesh Joshi


When LifecycleTransaction is used in a multi-threaded context, we encounter 
this exception -

During streaming we create a reference to a {{LifeCycleTransaction}} and share 
it between threads -

[https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/5cc68a87359dd02412bdb70a52dfcd718d44a5ba/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/streaming/CassandraStreamReader.java#L156]

This is used a multi-threaded context inside of {{CassandraIncomingFile}} which 
is a {{IncomingStreamMessage}}. This is being deserialized in parallel.

{{LifecycleTransaction}} is not meant to be used in a multi-threaded context 
and this leads to streaming failures due to object sharing. On trunk, this 
object is shared across all threads that transfer sstables in parallel for the 
given {{TableId}} in a {{StreamSession}}. There are two options to solve this - 
make {{LifecycleTransaction}} and the associated objects thread safe, scope the 
transaction to a single {{CassandraIncomingFile}}. The consequences of the 
latter option is that if we experience streaming failure we may have redundant 
SSTables on disk. This is ok as compaction should clean this up. A third option 
is we synchronize access in the streaming infrastructure.
