Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-4574:
-------------------------------------
Regarding the bug report, that has gone into the black hole of oracle bug
reporting system. I haven't heard back from the review process. I wish it was
really more *open* !
Maybe, switching to a different serialization format as suggested in HIVE-1511
is the best bet.

> In open jdk7, XMLEncoder.writeObject call leads to calls to
> java.beans.MethodFinder.findMethod(). MethodFinder class not thread safe
> because it uses a static WeakHashMap that would get used from multiple
> threads. See -
> http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/7-b147/com/sun/beans/finder/MethodFinder.java#46
> Concurrent access to HashMap implementation that are not thread safe can
> sometimes result in infinite-loops and other problems. If jdk7 is in use, it
> makes sense to synchronize calls to XMLEncoder.writeObject .
