Malcolm Edgar commented on CLK-636:
-----------------------------------
Hi Henry,
The difficulty in applying this change is that I am not confident that it will
not reintroduce the Spring errors we observed earlier. This error is difficult
to quantify, does it only occur with certain Spring versions, with certain
configurations and application JAR dependencies, does it relate the application
server etc.

> Key: CLK-636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-636
> Project: Click
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Henry Saputra
> Attachments: concurrentreader_patch.diff
>
>
> Since Click required Java SDK 1.5 or later, we could leverage the
> java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap class to replace
> EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.ConcurrentReaderHashMap class so reducing
> the Click runtime dependency.
> In my opinion here are some good reasons why:
> 1. The ConcurrentHashMap class in Java SDK is more efficient since it
> utilizes internal hash classes to support better granularity and concurrency
> compare to simple syncrhonized on the instance like in
> DU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.ConcurrentReaderHashMap.
> 2. Looking at the use case ConcurrentReaderHashMap in Click, it used to cache
> the OGNL expression (please correct me if I am wrong). This scenario does not
> need exclusive lock on update which is the intended/ preferred use case for
> ConcurrentReaderHashMap. If there is a miss on OGNL expression on a name in
> the cache, it will cerate one and put it to the map if no other thread has
> not. So it will still perform as well as or better locking entire table.
> However, if we do need exclusive lock on update, we can simulate
> ConcurrentReaderHashMap with ConcurrentHashMap by setting concurrencyLevel to
> one.
> 3. The ConcurrentHashMap support generic which is part of task being done to
> move Click code to Java generics.
> 4. Looks like the EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.ConcurrentReaderHashMap
> class is created by Doug Lea before contributions to java.util.concurrent
> packages in Java 1.5 SDK so the code may no longer optimized.
