merlimat opened a new pull request #1249: Fixed Journal static empty array list recycling URL: https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/1249 When `journalSyncData=false`, we passing `EMPTY_ARRAY_LIST` to the `ForceWriteThread` when the journal is rolled over. I have seen this exception: ``` 18:39:52.285 [ForceWriteThread] ERROR org.apache.bookkeeper.bookie.BookieCriticalThread - Uncaught exception in thread ForceWriteThread and is exiting! java.lang.NullPointerException: null at io.netty.util.Recycler$DefaultHandle.recycle(Recycler.java:219) ~[io.netty-netty-all-4.1.21.Final.jar:4.1.21.Final] at org.apache.bookkeeper.common.collections.RecyclableArrayList.recycle(RecyclableArrayList.java:55) ~[org.apache.bookkeeper-bookkeeper-server-shaded-4.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:4.7.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.bookkeeper.bookie.Journal$ForceWriteRequest.recycle(Journal.java:402) ~[org.apache.bookkeeper-bookkeeper-server-shaded-4.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:4.7.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.bookkeeper.bookie.Journal$ForceWriteRequest.access$1(Journal.java:399) ~[org.apache.bookkeeper-bookkeeper-server-shaded-4.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:4.7.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.bookkeeper.bookie.Journal$ForceWriteThread.run(Journal.java:506) ~[org.apache.bookkeeper-bookkeeper-server-shaded-4.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:4.7.0-SNAPSHOT] ``` This is due to calling `recycle()` twice on the same `EMPTY_ARRAY_LIST` instance. The solution is that `EMPTY_ARRAY_LIST` should not be a pooled instance and we should check that before recycling.
