Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-10027:
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks for the additional info, [~chris.douglas]. If this is working around a
JVM bug, we had better add a comment explaining which JVMs have the bug, and
linking to the bug report. I also strongly suspect that even if this was an
issue in the past, it no longer is with now that we don't support JVMs older
than 1.7 (java 7).
I apologize for being so skeptical, but my first instinct when our JNI code and
the Sun / Oracle docs conflict is to believe that our JNI code is wrong. I've
just seen so much bad JNI code :) I hope that we can clear this up.

> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/native/src/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/zlib/ZlibCompressor.c?view=markup
> This pattern appears in all the native compressors.
> // Get members of ZlibCompressor
> jobject clazz = (*env)->GetStaticObjectField(env, this,
> ZlibCompressor_clazz);
> The 2nd argument to GetStaticObjectField is supposed to be a jclass, not a
> jobject. Adding the JVM param -Xcheck:jni will cause "FATAL ERROR in native
> method: JNI received a class argument that is not a class" and a core dump
> such as the following.

> from /usr/lib/hadoop/lib/native/libhadoop.so.1.0.0
> In addition, that clazz object is only used for synchronization. In the case
> of the native method _deflateBytesDirect, the result is a class wide lock
> used to access the instance field uncompressed_direct_buf. Perhaps using the
> instance as the sync point is more appropriate?
