> The LengthDelimitedJournal class allows only a single thread to write to the
> journal at a time (protected by a synchronized block). If the Thread throws
> an Exception while writing, it calls the poison() method in order to prevent
> any other Thread from updating the Repo and causing corruption. However,
> there is a race condition that exists, where the Thread will exit the
> synchronized block and then call poison(), which could result in a second
> Thread entering the synchronized block and updating the Repository, which can
> corrupt the Repository.
> This would only happen in conditions such as an OutOfMemoryError or if the
> FlowFile Repository runs out of disk space, and even then it won't
> necessarily occur. But it can, so it needs to be addressed.
