> XMLEncoder thread safety issues in openjdk7 causes HiveServer2 to be stuck

> Key: HIVE-4574

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair

> In open jdk7, XMLEncoder.writeObject call leads to calls to
> java.beans.MethodFinder.findMethod(). MethodFinder class not thread safe
> because it uses a static WeakHashMap that would get used from multiple
> threads. See -
> http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/7-b147/com/sun/beans/finder/MethodFinder.java#46
> Concurrent access to HashMap implementation that are not thread safe can
> sometimes result in infinite-loops and other problems. If jdk7 is in use, it
> makes sense to synchronize calls to XMLEncoder.writeObject .
