Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-6921:
---------------------------------------
Just to mention: This is all fine, because static initializers may never break,
because the security exception is catched and use to "answer the parent
question". :-)
> Fix SPIClassIterator#isParentClassLoader to don't require extra permissions

> This is not really a big issue, because most setups use a "good" context
> classloader. The context classloader is required by the Java ServiceProvider
> standard to look for META-INF classes. To work around issues in some setups,
> the analysis and codec SPIs also scan our own classloader, if it is not a
> parent of the context one. This check requires permissions, if we are not a
> parent.
> This will fix the parent check to simply return false (and enforce classpath
> rescan) if we don't have enough permissions. This is the right thing to do,
> because if we have no permissions, we are also not a parent!
