>
> As currently implemented, the class HostsFileReader does not properly allow
> concurrent access.
> It maintains two Sets and manipulates them within synchronized fields, but
> provides accessor methods that publish unsynchronized access to the sets'
> references (getHosts() and getExcludedHosts()). The sets are implemented as
> HashSets, which are not thread safe. This can allow a method to obtain a
> reference to a set that may be modified concurrently by the HostsFileReader.
