>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24690
>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 4.22.0
>            Reporter: Federico Mariani
>            Assignee: Federico Mariani
>            Priority: Major

> {{PythonExpression}} creates one {{PythonInterpreter}} per expression and {{evaluate}} does
> {code:java}
> compiler.set("exchange", exchange);
> compiler.set("body", exchange.getMessage().getBody());
> ... 
> PyObject out = compiler.eval(compiledExpression);
> ...
> finally { compiler.cleanup(); }
> {code}
> with no synchronization. Two exchanges evaluated concurrently on the same expression interleave the {{set()}} calls on the interpreter's shared globals, so thread A can evaluate with thread B's body, and {{cleanup()}} from one thread runs while the other is mid-eval. {{PythonLanguage.evaluate}} has the same race on the shared interpreter.
> Also: every result is stringified with {{out.toString()}} so lists, dicts and numbers lose their type, and all failures, including runtime ones, are reported as {{ExpressionIllegalSyntaxException}}.
> Suggested fix: run the compiled {{PyCode}} with per-call locals ({{Py.runCode(code, locals, globals)}}) instead of mutating the interpreter globals, or synchronize / use a ThreadLocal interpreter; and convert results through {{__tojava__}} instead of {{toString}}. Found while reviewing the scripting languages for the benchmark comparison (not benchmarked).
> ----
> _Found during a benchmark review of camel-groovy and the other scripting languages (camel-performance-tests branch camel-groovy-perf, tests/camel-jmh/groovy-results, JMH 1.37, JDK 21, one M1 Pro laptop). A candidate fix with tests exists on the local apache/camel branch camel-perf-all-fixes; a PR follows._
