gonglinglei commented on HIVE-18956: ------------------------------------ {code:java} @Override public void initialize(Configuration configuration, Properties properties) throws SerDeException { ... if(!badSchema) { this.avroSerializer = new AvroSerializer(); this.avroDeserializer = new AvroDeserializer(); } } {code} It's already fixed in [HIVE-18410|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18410], since both {{AvroSerializer}} and {{AvroDeserializer}} now get instance in {{initialize}}. > AvroSerDe Race Condition > ------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-18956 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18956 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.3.2 > Reporter: BELUGA BEHR > Priority: Trivial > > {code} > @Override > public Writable serialize(Object o, ObjectInspector objectInspector) throws > SerDeException { > if(badSchema) { > throw new BadSchemaException(); > } > return getSerializer().serialize(o, objectInspector, columnNames, > columnTypes, schema); > } > @Override > public Object deserialize(Writable writable) throws SerDeException { > if(badSchema) { > throw new BadSchemaException(); > } > return getDeserializer().deserialize(columnNames, columnTypes, writable, > schema); > } > ... > private AvroDeserializer getDeserializer() { > if(avroDeserializer == null) { > avroDeserializer = new AvroDeserializer(); > } > return avroDeserializer; > } > private AvroSerializer getSerializer() { > if(avroSerializer == null) { > avroSerializer = new AvroSerializer(); > } > return avroSerializer; > } > {code} > {{getDeserializer}} and {{getSerializer}} methods are not thread safe, so > neither are {{deserialize}} and {{serialize}} methods. It probably didn't > matter with MapReduce, but now that we have Spark/Tez, it may be an issue. > You could visualize a scenario where three threads all enter > {{getSerializer}} and all see that {{avroSerializer}} is _null_ and create > three instances, then they would fight to assign the new object to the > {{avroSerializer}} variable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
