Jingcheng Du commented on HBASE-14268:
--------------------------------------
Sorry for the late response.
Something like that. Quick get/release on lock can lead in some threads can
lead some other threads continue to find null reference(existingRef.get()) in
the loop. Theoretically, it is possible, right? Although I think it hardly
happens.

> 1. In the implementation of {{KeyLocker}} it uses atomic variables inside a
> synchronized block, which doesn't make sense. Moreover, logic inside the
> synchronized block is not trivial so that it makes less performance in heavy
> multi-threaded environment.
> 2. {{KeyLocker}} gives an instance of {{RentrantLock}} which is already
> locked, but it doesn't follow the contract of {{ReentrantLock}} because you
> are not allowed to freely invoke lock/unlock methods under that contract.
> That introduces a potential risk; Whenever you see a variable of the type
> {{RentrantLock}}, you should pay attention to what the included instance is
> coming from.
