[jira] [Commented] (MRESOLVER-153) resolver-status.properties file is corrupted due to concurrent writes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-153?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17312705#comment-17312705 ] 

Guy Brand commented on MRESOLVER-153:
-------------------------------------

[~michael-o] What is the status of this issue? Does it occur on the release version still? If yes, when can this be fixed such that we can run our integration tests with the default amount of resolver threads again?

> It's not consistently failing and OSX based CI agents fail more often than Linux or Windows ones. After some investigations we saw that as part of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-132 the synchronization has been removed on the {{TrackingFileManager}} ([https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver/pull/67]). This now leads to concurrent writes on the {{resolver-status.properties}} file in our tests and causes the error during the {{Properties#load()}} method wich then throws the above error. See this screenshot on how these files look like (cannot add the text here as {{null}} characters aren't shown):
>  !screenshot-1.png! 
> When enabling debug log we also see that the {{DefaultMetadataResolver}} threads try to write concurrently to this file:

> {code}
> We [created a Maven integration test|https://github.com/guylabs/maven-integration-testing/commit/56edeb28895a6704ad28e76655ee792d19797a8c] which reproduces the issue. The test is not always failing as in some runs the {{null}} characters are normalized to {{\u0000}} Strings and then written back to the {{resolver-status.properties}} file which then can be read properly by the {{Properties#load()}} method. You can monitor the {{core-it-suite/target/test-classes/mng-xxxx-concurrent-writes-to-resolver-status-file/repo/mng-xxxx-concurrent-writes-to-resolver-status-file/plugin/resolver-status.properties}} file while running the test as there you'll see the corrupted updates.
> Readding the thread synchronization to the {{TrackingFileManager}} would solve this race condition, as file locking is indeed not required as stated in MRESOLVER-132.
> Can we get this change into a new Maven {{4.0.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT}} version to be able to test the fix?
