>             Project: Lucene - Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Przemko Robakowski
>            Priority: Minor
>          Time Spent: 10m
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> There is race condition in SetOnce that can cause code below fail with NullPointerException:
> {code:java}
> SetOnce<String> setOnce = new SetOnce<>();
> new Thread(() -> setOnce.set("thread")).start();
> try{
>     setOnce.set("main");
> } catch (SetOnce.AlreadySetException e){
>     setOnce.get().hashCode(); //possible NPE!
> }
> {code}
> This is caused by 2 separate write operations - 1 for set marker field and 1 for actual object. So it's possible that marker is already set to true (causing AlreadySetException on second write attempt) but object is still not set (causing NullPointerException).
> This can be avoided by using single AtomicReference instead to serve both purposes.
