Tsuyoshi OZAWA updated HADOOP-10436:
------------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-10436.1.patch
Made buildGeneralOptions synchronized.
OptionBuilder is a part or o.a.commons.cli, so we should avoid this problem at
GenericOptionsParser#buildGeneralOptions.
> ToolRunner is not thread-safe

> ToolRunner class is not thread-safe because it uses GenericOptionsParser.
> The constructor of GenericOptionsParser uses 'OptionBuilder' which is a
> singleton class that uses instance variables. In other words, OptionBuilder
> is NOT thread safe. As a result, when multiple Hadoop jobs are triggered
> simultaneously using ToolRunner they end up stepping on each other.
> The easiest way to fix it is by making 'buildGeneralOptions' synchronized in
> GenericOptionsParser.
> private static synchronized Options buildGeneralOptions(Options opts) {
> If this seems like the correct way of fixing this, either we can provide a
> patch or someone can quickly fix it. Thanks.
