> Calls to CoordinatorImpl.begin (and CorrdinatorImpl.create) can return null, if the Garbage Collector runs between the creation of the Coordination and the return of the CoordinationHolder reference.
> During that time, only the WeakReference to the Holder exists, therefor it is removed and cannot be returned to the caller.
> This can easily happen in high load scenarios with many calls to CoordinatorImpl.begin. The caller has no chance of ever receiving a Coordination reference.
> I created a simple test do demonstrate the problem.
