             Summary: ObjectInspectorFactory.getReflectionObjectInspector is not thread-safe
                 Key: HIVE-11586
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11586
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jimmy Xiang
            Assignee: Jimmy Xiang


ObjectInspectorFactory#getReflectionObjectInspectorNoCache addes newly create object inspector to the cache before calling its init() method, to allow reusing the cache when dealing with recursive types. So a second thread can then call getReflectionObjectInspector and fetch an uninitialized instance of ReflectionStructObjectInspector.

Another issue is that if two threads calls ObjectInspectorFactory.getReflectionObjectInspector at the same time. One thread could get an object inspector not in the cache, i.e. they could both call getReflectionObjectInspectorNoCache() but only one will put the new object inspector to cache successfully.
