All the following operations are not thread safe.. Right?

CDORevisionResolverImpl
private Map<CDOID, TimeLine> revisions =3D new HashMap();

and=20

CDOViewImpl=20
private Map<CDOID, InternalCDOObject> objects =3D new HashMap();



Do you think it could be the problem of the hanging ?

The operations (assignment of HashMap) are thread safe because they
happen during construction time of their containing instance.
I guess you mean that subsequent operations on the maps are not thread safe?

First I thought this one is thread safe because it is protected by the
internal semantics of ITransaction.
A CDORevision itself is immutable once created so there's no danger.
But now I'm not sure if it could come to problems due to the internal
mechanics of HashMap.
Maybe it'd be better to use a ConcurrentHashMap for
CDORevisionResolverImpl.revisions and a ConcurrentLinkedQueue as super
class of TimeLine.

A CDOView is not thread safe by definition.
It shall only be used by a single thread because it contains a
ResourceSet with Resources with EObjects and EObjects are not thread
safe by default (Ed?).
Even EModelElements are only read-only thread safe
( http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.emf/msg2 6143.html).

Basically I believe that the root cause is somewhere in Net4j rather
than in CDO.
I have more comments in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201366

Cheers

.... another reason why I don't bellive that missing sync on the maps is
not the cause for the deadlocks is the following:
I believe that in general too few sync *can* cause problems like data
corruption and subsequent failure but deadlock is more likely to occur
with too much or wrong sync.

Sorry Eike, I wasn't clear enough.. but I thought it was obvious.

Everyone that connect to that repository will go through these variable =
and call

TimeLine timeLine =3D revisions.get(id);

if (timeLine =3D=3D null)

{

timeLine =3D new TimeLine(id);

revisions.put(id, timeLine);

}


return timeLine;



We could have a problem there.... everywhere where we use revisions... =
not when we contruct it.

Same thing for other attributs I mention...=20

Eike,

One example I often give when people ask about thread safety is to
consider the following code applied to a thread safe list.

int index = list.indexOf(x);
list.remove(index);

Even though the list might well be thread safe, this code isn't. So
generally, even if everything you use is thread safe, that doesn't mean
your higher level algorithms will be thread safe. Any code that changes
the state of a complex model will require higher level concurrency control.

I often tell people to consider as well what would happen if we put
synchronized on every method. Not only wouldn't that solve all life's
threading problems, it would in fact be more than likely to cause new
ones, i.e., deadlock.

So all that pontificating aside, EMF models are generally read-only
thread safe, but since demand loading of proxies effectively changes the
state of a model, even things you think involve read only access might
well do more. Ecore itself is designed to be read-only thread safe.
And of course the above aren't a reason to throw up your hands. There
are definitely places where you will need to ensure that something is
done safely because the method being called really is intended to
support more than one thread calling it at once.

One example I often give when people ask about thread safety is to
consider the following code applied to a thread safe list.<br>
<blockquote>int index = list.indexOf(x);<br>
list.remove(index);<br>
</blockquote>
Even though the list might well be thread safe, this code isn't.&nbsp; So
generally, even if everything you use is thread safe, that doesn't mean
your higher level algorithms will be thread safe.&nbsp; Any code that
changes the state of a complex model will require higher level
concurrency control.<br>
<br>
I often tell people to consider as well what would happen if we put
synchronized on every method.&nbsp; Not only wouldn't that solve all life's
threading problems, it would in fact be more than likely to cause new
ones, i.e., deadlock.<br>
<br>
So all that pontificating aside, EMF models are generally read-only
thread safe, but since demand loading of proxies effectively changes
the state of a model, even things you think involve read only access
might well do more.&nbsp; Ecore itself is designed to be read-only thread
safe.&nbsp; And of course the above aren't a reason to throw up your hands.&nbsp;
There are definitely places where you will need to ensure that
something is done safely because the method being called really is
intended to support more than one thread calling it at once.<br>

Ed,

It's clear to me that I have to protect subsequent accesses to a thread
safe data structure, for example:

synchronized (revisions)
{
TimeLine timeLine = revisions.get(id);
if (timeLine == null)
{
timeLine = new TimeLine(id);
revisions.put(id, timeLine);
}

return timeLine;
}

But if the used data structure is not thread safe in itself two threads
could mess it up with a single access each.
A HashMap.put() for example could cause rehashing while another thread
is trying to access the map.

Cheers
/Eike

This seems to be well done. But I'm not an expert :-)
It is working with my JCSMap as well !!!!

Eike,

Yes, this is definitely a case where you need to synchronize properly.

Cool!!! I'm happy that it's solved and sorry for the inconvenience.
Maybe in the future when we recognize that too many threads are being
allocated we are brave enough to give AsynchronousWorkSerializer another
try ;-)

BTW. I've added the following to Channel.doDeactivate()

if (receiveSerializer != null)
{
receiveSerializer.dispose();
receiveSerializer = null;
}

Cheers

First I thought this one is thread safe because it is protected by the
internal semantics of ITransaction.
A CDORevision itself is immutable once created so there's no danger.
But now I'm not sure if it could come to problems due to the internal
mechanics of HashMap.
Maybe it'd be better to use a ConcurrentHashMap for
CDORevisionResolverImpl.revisions and a ConcurrentLinkedQueue as super
class of TimeLine.

> CDOViewImpl

A CDOView is not thread safe by definition.
It shall only be used by a single thread because it contains a
ResourceSet with Resources with EObjects and EObjects are not thread
safe by default (Ed?).
Even EModelElements are only read-only thread safe
( http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.emf/msg2 6143.html).

Basically I believe that the root cause is somewhere in Net4j rather
than in CDO.
I have more comments in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201366

.... another reason why I don't bellive that missing sync on the maps is
not the cause for the deadlocks is the following:
I believe that in general too few sync *can* cause problems like data
corruption and subsequent failure but deadlock is more likely to occur
with too much or wrong sync.

Sorry Eike, I wasn't clear enough.. but I thought it was obvious.

Everyone that connect to that repository will go through these variable =
and call

TimeLine timeLine =3D revisions.get(id);

if (timeLine =3D=3D null)

{

timeLine =3D new TimeLine(id);

revisions.put(id, timeLine);

}


return timeLine;



We could have a problem there.... everywhere where we use revisions... =
not when we contruct it.

Same thing for other attributs I mention...=20

Eike,

One example I often give when people ask about thread safety is to
consider the following code applied to a thread safe list.

int index = list.indexOf(x);
list.remove(index);

Even though the list might well be thread safe, this code isn't. So
generally, even if everything you use is thread safe, that doesn't mean
your higher level algorithms will be thread safe. Any code that changes
the state of a complex model will require higher level concurrency control.

I often tell people to consider as well what would happen if we put
synchronized on every method. Not only wouldn't that solve all life's
threading problems, it would in fact be more than likely to cause new
ones, i.e., deadlock.

So all that pontificating aside, EMF models are generally read-only
thread safe, but since demand loading of proxies effectively changes the
state of a model, even things you think involve read only access might
well do more. Ecore itself is designed to be read-only thread safe.
And of course the above aren't a reason to throw up your hands. There
are definitely places where you will need to ensure that something is
done safely because the method being called really is intended to
support more than one thread calling it at once.

Ed,

It's clear to me that I have to protect subsequent accesses to a thread
safe data structure, for example:

synchronized (revisions)
{
TimeLine timeLine = revisions.get(id);
if (timeLine == null)
{
timeLine = new TimeLine(id);
revisions.put(id, timeLine);
}

return timeLine;
}

But if the used data structure is not thread safe in itself two threads
could mess it up with a single access each.
A HashMap.put() for example could cause rehashing while another thread
is trying to access the map.

Cheers
/Eike

<br>
It's clear to me that I have to protect subsequent accesses to a thread
safe data structure, for example:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; synchronized (revisions)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TimeLine timeLine = revisions.get(id);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (timeLine == null)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; timeLine = new TimeLine(id);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; revisions.put(id, timeLine);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return timeLine;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
<br>
But if the used data structure is not thread safe in itself two threads
could mess it up with a single access each.<br>
A HashMap.put() for example could cause rehashing while another thread
is trying to access the map.<br>

One example I often give when people ask about thread safety is to
consider the following code applied to a thread safe list.<br>
<blockquote>int index = list.indexOf(x);<br>
list.remove(index);<br>
</blockquote>
Even though the list might well be thread safe, this code isn't.&nbsp; So
generally, even if everything you use is thread safe, that doesn't mean
your higher level algorithms will be thread safe.&nbsp; Any code that
changes the state of a complex model will require higher level
concurrency control.<br>
<br>
I often tell people to consider as well what would happen if we put
synchronized on every method.&nbsp; Not only wouldn't that solve all life's
threading problems, it would in fact be more than likely to cause new
ones, i.e., deadlock.<br>
<br>
So all that pontificating aside, EMF models are generally read-only
thread safe, but since demand loading of proxies effectively changes
the state of a model, even things you think involve read only access
might well do more.&nbsp; Ecore itself is designed to be read-only thread
safe.&nbsp; And of course the above aren't a reason to throw up your hands.&nbsp;
There are definitely places where you will need to ensure that
something is done safely because the method being called really is
intended to support more than one thread calling it at once.<br>

I've added chained synchronization to CDORevisionResolverImpl.
What do you think?

It is working with my JCSMap as well !!!!

Eike,

Yes, this is definitely a case where you need to synchronize properly.

It's clear to me that I have to protect subsequent accesses to a thread
safe data structure, for example:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; synchronized (revisions)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TimeLine timeLine = revisions.get(id);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (timeLine == null)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; timeLine = new TimeLine(id);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; revisions.put(id, timeLine);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return timeLine;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
<br>
But if the used data structure is not thread safe in itself two threads
could mess it up with a single access each.<br>
A HashMap.put() for example could cause rehashing while another thread
is trying to access the map.<br>
<br>

Even though the list might well be thread safe, this code isn't.&nbsp; So

So all that pontificating aside, EMF models are generally read-only

the state of a model, even things you think involve read only access

safe.&nbsp; And of course the above aren't a reason to throw up your hands.&nbsp;
There are definitely places where you will need to ensure that
something is done safely because the method being called really is
intended to support more than one thread calling it at once.<br>

The operations (assignment of HashMap) are thread safe because they

First I thought this one is thread safe because it is protected by the

A CDORevision itself is immutable once created so there's no danger.<br>

A CDOView is not thread safe by definition.<br>
It shall only be used by a single thread because it contains a
ResourceSet with Resources with EObjects and EObjects are not thread
safe by default (Ed?).<br>
Even EModelElements are only read-only thread safe

Cool!!! I'm happy that it's solved and sorry for the inconvenience.
Maybe in the future when we recognize that too many threads are being
allocated we are brave enough to give AsynchronousWorkSerializer another
try ;-)

BTW. I've added the following to Channel.doDeactivate()

if (receiveSerializer != null)
{
receiveSerializer.dispose();
receiveSerializer = null;
}

Cheers
