Dominik Stadler resolved XMLBEANS-525.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Dominik Stadler
Fix Version/s: unspecified
Contention did not show any more in subsequent tests so it seems the initial
setup was maybe too limit in memory/hardware to be a valid test-setup.
> Reduce locking/contention in Path.getCompiledPath()

> Key: XMLBEANS-525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-525
> Project: XMLBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: Version 3.0.2
> Reporter: Dominik Stadler
> Assignee: Dominik Stadler
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: 303-candidate
> Fix For: unspecified
>
>
> When running the large regression test-suite for Apache POI with multiple
> threads (each working on a single file), I saw that the lock in
> Path.getCompiledPath() is causing big contention, keeping the test from
> utilizing multiple CPU cores fully.
> I tested with manually disabling this locking completely, then CPU is
> utilized much better, however there are potential race-conditions for the
> static maps.
> It seems in this case where we process a huge amount of different files,
> write-locks do occur constantly, i.e. there are always new expressions being
> put into the cache and thus write-locks do occur and keep other threads from
> accessing the cache.
> Possible options:
> * test with using using more fine-grained locking on each map separately
> * maybe we can use concurrent maps and Java 8 Map.computeIfAbsent() directly
> instead of the lock-get-put-unlock combination.
> * Add an option to make the caches per thread via thread-local so no locking
> is needed any more
> * ?
