[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-7183) WritableComparator.get should not cache comparator objects

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7183?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-7183:
---------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 0.21.1
                   0.20.3

The fix should probably also be merged to the 0.20 and 0.21 branches.

> HADOOP-6881 modified WritableComparator.get such that the constructed WritableComparator gets saved back into the static map. This is fine for stateless comparators, but some comparators have per-instance state, and thus this becomes thread-unsafe and causes errors in the shuffle where multiple threads are doing comparisons. An example of a Comparator with per-instance state is WritableComparator itself.
