Ryan Blue resolved AVRO-1781.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Ryan Blue
> Schema.parse is not thread safe
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1781
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1781
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Ryan Blue
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
> Attachments: AVRO-1781.1.patch, AVRO-1781.2.patch

>
> Post AVRO-1497, Schema.parse calls {{LogicalTypes.fromSchemaIgnoreInvalid}} on any schema that is expressed as a JSON object (anything except bare primitives).
> That static method relies on a static cache based on WeakIdentityHashMap (WIHM).
> WIHM clearly states that it isn't threadsafe [ref|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/branch-1.8/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/util/WeakIdentityHashMap.java#L42]
> {code}
> *
> * Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
> * </b>
> */
> public class WeakIdentityHashMap<K, V> implements Map<K, V> {
> {code}
> All of the Schema.Parser instances use that same static Schema.parse method.
> The end result is that as-is it's only safe to have a single thread parsing schemas in a given JVM.
