> We observed a deadlock in production between the following threads:
> - IPC handler thread holding the monitor lock on MemStoreFlusher inside
> reclaimMemStoreMemory, waiting to obtain MemStoreFlusher.lock (the reentrant
> lock member)
> - cacheFlusher thread inside flushRegion holds MemStoreFlusher.lock, and then
> calls PriorityCompactionQueue.add, which calls
> PriorityCompactionQueue.addToRegionsInQueue, which calls
> CompactionRequest.toString(), which calls Date.toString. If this occurs just
> after a GC under memory pressure, Date.toString needs to reload locale
> information (stored in a soft reference), so it calls
> ResourceBundle.loadBundle, which uses Thread.currentThread() as a
> synchronizer (see sun bug http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6915621).
> Since the current thread is the MemStoreFlusher itself, we have a lock order
> inversion and a deadlock.
