Martin Traverso updated ZOOKEEPER-666: -------------------------------------- Description: The following code may result in a data race due to unsafe publication of a reference to "this". The call to cnxn.start() spawns threads that have access to the partially-constructed reference to the ZooKeeper object. See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp0618.html for some background info. {noformat} public ZooKeeper(String connectString, int sessionTimeout, Watcher watcher) throws IOException { ..... cnxn = new ClientCnxn(connectString, sessionTimeout, this, watchManager); cnxn.start(); } {noformat} The obvious fix is to move the call to cnxn.start() into a separate start() method. was: The following code may result in a data race due to unsafe publication of a reference to "this".
