Steve Loughran resolved HADOOP-12593.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
> multiple "volatile long" field declarations exist in the Hadoop codebase
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-12593
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12593
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you get your IDE to scan for "volatile long", you find 20-30 entries.
> Volatile operations on `long` variables are not guaranteed to be atomic, so
> these usages can be vulnerable to race conditions generating invalid data.
> they need to be replaced by AtomicLong references, except in the specific
> case that you want performance values for statistics, and are prepared to
> take the risk
