Darrel Schneider reassigned GEODE-678:
--------------------------------------
Assignee: Darrel Schneider
> DistributedLockService: reentrant lock calls with a small wait time can cause
> the lock to be lost
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-678
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-678
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Reporter: Darrel Schneider
> Assignee: Darrel Schneider
>
> If a thread already holds a lock from the DistributedLockService (this also
> applies to global regions and using Region.getDistributedLock) then it can
> reenter the lock by acquiring it again by calling lock. Since the thread
> already holds the lock it does not need to wait to acquire it. But if a very
> small waitTIme parameter is passed then the implementation may timeout the
> reacquire call telling the caller that it could not acquire the lock.
> In this case the thread also loses the original lock it held and future
> attempts to release it will fail with LockNotHeldException.
> The waitTime should only be considered in the initial lock request when you
> might be waiting for some other thread to release the lock. If you already
> hold the lock then waitTime should be ignored.
