             Summary: TinkerTransactionGraph doesn't remove deleted elements in 
threaded scenario
                 Key: TINKERPOP-3142
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-3142
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tinkergraph
    Affects Versions: 3.7.3
            Reporter: Ken Hu


TinkerTransactionGraph might leave a "isDeleted" TinkerElementContainer hanging 
around if a read occurs during the commit of a drop(). This leads to later 
errors when trying to add that element back as it "isDeleted" leading to an 
exception.

The following test can sometimes reproduce the error (it's a multithreading 
issue so it doesn't always reproduce).

 
{code:java}
@Test
public void shouldAddThenDeleteThenAddBackInSeparateTransactions() throws 
InterruptedException {
    final TinkerTransactionGraph graph = TinkerTransactionGraph.open();
    final GraphTraversalSource g = graph.traversal();
    final GraphTraversalSource gtx = g.tx().begin();

    CountDownLatch signal = new CountDownLatch(1);

    gtx.addV().property(T.id, 1).next();
    gtx.tx().commit();

    Thread reader = new Thread(() -> {
        while (signal.getCount() > 0) {
            g.V().id().toList();
            g.tx().commit();
        }
    });
    reader.start();

    Thread.sleep(50);

    g.V(1).drop().iterate();
    g.tx().commit();

    Thread.sleep(50);

    g.addV().property(T.id, 1).next();
    g.tx().commit();

    signal.countDown();
    reader.join();

    assertEquals(1, graph.getVertices().size());
} {code}
Should a read occur when trying to delete the vertex, the usesInTransactions is 
incremented 
(https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/3.7.3/tinkergraph-gremlin/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/tinkergraph/structure/TinkerElementContainer.java#L100)
 so that it won't be deleted during the commit as its uses isn't 0 
([https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/3.7.3/tinkergraph-gremlin/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/tinkergraph/structure/TinkerElementContainer.java#L232).]

 

This behavior of incrementing the use count with reads gives more consistent 
reads, however, the tradeoff is that it can cause TransactionExceptions to 
occur. So, it would be best if this could be resolved while keeping the read 
behavior consistent.
