[jira] [Commented] (GORA-228) java.util.ConcurrentModificationException when using MemStore for concurrent tests

["Lewis John McGibbney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-228?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13880834#comment-13880834 ] 

Lewis John McGibbney commented on GORA-228:
-------------------------------------------

hey [~icebergx5], I've confirmed this fix testing on TestGoraStore within Nutch 2.x HEAD.

    [junit] Running org.apache.nutch.storage.TestGoraStorage
    [junit] Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 12.538 sec

Does anyone have objections to commit and make MemStore thread safe (for these limited tests anyway)?

There is another issue GORA-280 for creating multithreaded tests for DataStoreTestBase which will run against all datastores.

> I believe that the final failure is due to to the use of TreeMap [5] as a private object in MemStore. TreeMap implementations are not synchronized. If multiple threads access a map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value associated with an existing key is not a structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map. If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the Collections.synchronizedSortedMap method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access to the map e.g.
>    SortedMap m = Collections.synchronizedSortedMap(new TreeMap(...));
> N.B. The NOTE on TreeMap's come right from the Oracle JavaDoc.
