Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-10784:
--------------------------------------
I wonder if this is compiler-specific. I would think that the following is
thread-safe but perhaps not
{code:cpp}
FunctionRegistry* GetFunctionRegistry() {
static auto g_registry = internal::CreateBuiltInRegistry();
return g_registry.get();
}
{code}
> [Python] Loading pyarrow.compute isn't thread safe
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-10784
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10784
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Micah Kornfield
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> When using Arrow in a multithreaded environment it is possible to trigger an
> initialization race on the pyarrow.compute module when calling Array.flatten.
>
> Flatten calls _pc() which imports pyarrow compute but if two threads call
> flatten at the same time is possible that the global initialization of
> functions from the registry will be incomplete and therefore cause an
> AttributeError.
