> h3. Summary
> There are a couple of issues in HCatRecordObjectInspectorFactory[1] because
> it uses a static Java HashMap to cache objects:
> # Java HashMap is not thread safe. This can lead to data corruptions and
> race conditions in multithreaded servers when two threads update the
> ObjectInspector.
> # There is no eviction policy and as a result, this can result in memory
> leaks. If user reads a lot of different schemas, Hive server will start
> seeing memory pressure, once it start going to have a lot of cached record
> and object inspectors.
> This patch propose to replace the cache using a Guava cache which enables
> cache evictions and thread safety. Guava cache is already used in Hive
> ObjectInspectorFactory [2], so this change is consistent with the rest of
> Hive.
> Attached is a patch that fixes this issue.
