Matt Sicker updated LOG4J2-702:
-------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
> LoggerContext#waitForCompletion is not thread safe
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-702
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
> Reporter: Sean Bridges
> Priority: Critical
>
> This is in trunk, svn commit 1608156
> LoggerContext#waitForCompletion uses an AtomicInteger counter to try to
> detect if there are any calls currently executing the log(Event) method, but
> it does not do so in a thread safe manner. Consider two threads A and B,
> where Thread A is calling clearAppenders(), and Thread B is calling
> log(Event),
> {code}
> Thread A loggerConfig.clearAppenders()
> Thread A loggerConfig.waitForCompletion()
> Thread A counter.get() //returns 0
> Thread A //loggerConfig.waitForCompletion() returns
> Thread B loggerConfig.log(Event)
> Thread B counter.increment()
> Thread A proceeds assuming no log calls are onging, but thread B is in the
> log method
> {code}
> I'm not sure what the requirements are, but if the requirement is to not lose
> logging events, I think you need some sort of synchronization outside of the
> LoggerContext object.
