Mark Lassau commented on LUCENE-1472: ------------------------------------- The following methods would potentially suffer contention as well depending on usage patterns of the particular app: * stringToTime() * dateToString() * timeToString() > DateTools.stringToDate() can cause lock contention under load > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1472 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1472 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Affects Versions: 2.3.2 > Reporter: Mark Lassau > Priority: Minor > > Load testing our application (the JIRA Issue Tracker) has shown that threads > spend a lot of time blocked in DateTools.stringToDate(). > The stringToDate() method uses a singleton SimpleDateFormat object to parse > the dates. > Each call to parse is *synchronized* because SimpleDateFormat is not thread > safe. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
