> ThreadPools can be poisoned by context class loaders
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-23147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23147
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> Newly created threads in a thread pool inherit the context class loader (CCL)
> of the currently running thread.
> For thread pools this is very problematic because the CCL is unlikely to be
> reset at any point; not only can this leak another CL by accident, it can
> also cause class loading issues, for example when using a {{ServiceLoader}}
> because it relies on the CCL.
> With the scala-free runtime this for example means that if an actor system
> threads schedules something into future thread pool of the JM then a new
> thread is created which uses a plugin loader as a CCL. The plugin loaders are
> quite restrictive and prevent the loading of 3rd-party dependencies; so if
> the JM schedules something into the future thread pool which requires one of
> these dependencies to be accessible then we're gambling as to whether this
> dependency can actually be loaded in the end.
> Because it is difficult to ensure that we set the CCL correctly on all
> transitions from akka to Flink land I suggest to add a safeguard to the
> ExecutorThreadFactory to enforce that newly created threads are always
> initialized with the CL that has loaded Flink.
