Hello,

We've been experiencing some problems since we switched to tag 0.8.0M3. When the incquery is accessed concurrently from multiple threads, it starts throwing exceptions and causes the whole workbench to freeze.

The situation is as follows:
Our models are contained in projects and there is a view which content is calculated using queries. When the user opens a project, a resourceSet is created, and a job is started to read its content. In the meantime, the view tries to initialize its content and instantiates its queries. The following is the first exception which occurs during initialization of the query:

When this happens, the worker thread is currently doing the on-load model traversal:

Does concurrent calls causes this? Do I need to take extra measures to avoid concurrent calls even when the model is written on one thread? Do I need to delay query initialization until the model is loaded?

Thanks in advance

Hi Balázs,

currently there is no support in EMF-IncQuery for multiple threads accessing the same model concurrently. Not even for concurrent reads.

In fact, EMF itself isn't thread-safe either (especially with proxy resolution). See here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/FAQ#Is_EMF_thread-safe.3F
I suggest that you either (a) access an EMF model from a single thread only, or (b) use an exclusive lock to control access to that model. Using EMF-IncQuery makes no difference.

Hope that helps.

In fact, our resourceSet is transactional, therefore all modifications are serialized by a command queue. Do we need to instantiate queries in transactions?

The problem is that the query initialization uses an iterator on the index (see NavigationHelperImpl.processAllFeatureInstances(EStructuralFeature, IEStructuralFeatureProcessor) line: 289) to fill up the Rete network. In the same time, the load modifies the model and the notifications are handled by the index (see NavigationHelperContentAdapter.notifyChanged(Notification) line: 201) and as a result a new element is added to the collection that the iterator is using.

The short answer is yes, you have to either: initialize queries _before_ loading the resource or wait for the initialization after the load is finished.

[Edit:] You may encounter this now as in earlier versions the collection was copied instead of iterated. I'm not sure when the change happened.

Now this explains everything. I've encapsulated our query initializations into transactions and now it works as expected.

Thanks for the help
