Brock Noland commented on HIVE-4075: ------------------------------------ Either making the methods synchronized or using a ConcurrentHashMap should resolve the infinite loop. Since the TypeInfo objects are read only and it appears the keys/values will never be null in this class, I think a ConcurrentHashMap will work. > TypeInfoFactory is not thread safe and is access by multiple threads > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4075 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4075 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Brock Noland > > TypeInfoFactory is not thread safe and when accessed by multiple threads > calls to any of the methods can modify hashmaps concurrently resulting in > infinite loops. > {noformat} > "pool-1-thread-240" prio=10 tid=0x00002aabd8bf7000 nid=0x5f4a runnable > [0x0000000044626000] > java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE > at java.util.HashMap.get(HashMap.java:303) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.typeinfo.TypeInfoFactory.getStructTypeInfo(TypeInfoFactory.java:94) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe.initSerdeParams(LazySimpleSerDe.java:237) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe.initialize(LazySimpleSerDe.java:182) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetaStoreUtils.getDeserializer(MetaStoreUtils.java:203) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Table.getDeserializerFromMetaStore(Table.java:260) > > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Table.checkValidity(Table.java:167) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTable(Hive.java:930) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.DDLSemanticAnalyzer.analyzeDropTable(DDLSemanticAnalyzer.java:706) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.DDLSemanticAnalyzer.analyzeInternal(DDLSemanticAnalyzer.java:212) > > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.BaseSemanticAnalyzer.analyze(BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java:246) > > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:432) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:337) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:906) > - locked <0x00002aaac6e1c270> (a java.lang.Object) > at > org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation.run(SQLOperation.java:94) > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
