> We have a distributed application that uses ActiveMQ for communication between nodes. We are currently using ActiveMQ 5.9.0 running with Oracle JRE 1.7.0 update 45. 
> We are seeing some strange deadlock behavior in the ActiveMQ ThreadPoolExecutor when trying to serialize instances of ConcurrentHashMap. The thread dump can be seen at the following link:
> http://pastebin.com/wmNxSF4p
> We can see that there are two threads that are blocked waiting for a lock on some of the segments in a ConcurrentHashMap yet the thread dump does not indicate any threads that currently hold a lock on those objects. This lock does not occur all the time and can take around 5-10 messages before the deadlock occurs. I have been able to recreate this issue on two different physical machines.
> Our test environment that generated this thread dump is as follows. Node A is the instance that thread dump was taken from. For testing both nodes are on the same physical machine.
> Node A:
> * In its own JVM instance.
> * Runs an embedded ActiveMQ broker.
> * Performs communication via vm transport and sends ObjectMessages via a TopicConnection.
> * Has copyMessageOnSend=false
> * Has ObjectMessageSerializationDefered=true
> Node B:
> * In its own JVM instance.
> * Connects to Node A's broker via tcp transport.
> * Sends BytesMessages serialized with Kryo and sent via a TopicConnection.
> * Has copyMessageOnSend=false
> * Has ObjectMessageSerializationDefered=false
> Both nodes are set up to detect the type of incoming messages and deserialize them appropriately with kryo if it receives a BytesMessage or default serialization if it receives an ObjectMessage (handled by ActiveMQ).
> The only thing I have found resembling this issue is the following link. I am no sure if it is related to this exact problem or not.
