[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8406) CompressionCodecFactory.CODEC_PROVIDERS iteration is thread-unsafe

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8406?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Todd Lipcon updated HADOOP-8406:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: hadoop-8406.txt

Attached patch synchronizes the iteration over this list.

I didn't add a unit test because it would be nearly impossible to write one that failed reliably, since it only affects the very first call after the class has been classloaded.

> CompressionCodecFactory defines CODEC_PROVIDERS as:
> {code}
>   private static final ServiceLoader<CompressionCodec> CODEC_PROVIDERS =
>     ServiceLoader.load(CompressionCodec.class);
> {code}
> but this is a lazy collection which is thread-unsafe to iterate. We either need to synchronize when we iterate over it, or we need to materialize it during class-loading time by copying to a non-lazy collection
