>
> When an exception is encountered in DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler the
> ErrorManager is used to log the exception. ErrorManager uses System.err
> which is overridden to be a PrintStream that writes back into
> DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler.
> This has the lock ordering DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler -> PrintStream.
> Other logging of System.err has the inverse lock ordering
> PrintStream->DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler so there is potential for deadlock.
> This is one known cause of the inversion, but any other System.err logs from
> inside DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler could cause the same issue.
> Proposed fix is to address low-hanging fruit of having ErrorManager output to
> the original System.err. A full fix would be to improve our override of
> System.err to a PrintStream that can detect the locking inversion or possibly
> we could use the PrintStream mutex in both cases.
