Jackie-Jiang opened a new pull request #5531: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/pull/5531
The problem is caused by Reflections library not being thread-safe when multiple threads are accessing the same jar file. Read more about the thread-safety issue here: https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections/issues/81 Users are reporting the same issue even with the latest Reflections version 0.9.12. A common solution is to downgrade Reflections to 0.9.9, but we have other dependencies rely on 0.9.11, so downgrading might cause other issues. The solution introduced here is by replacing the static block with an init() method so that we can control when to scan the files to avoid the thread-safety issue. Another benefit of using an init() method is that the exception won't be swallowed (the exception in static block will be swallowed and query engine will start getting ClassNotFoundException) This PR also introduces a convention for the plugin methods using reflection, where the class must includes ".function." in its class path. This can significantly reduce the time of class scanning (reduced from 4 seconds to 200 ms locally) ## Description Add a description of your PR here. A good description should include pointers to an issue or design document, etc. ## Upgrade Notes Does this PR prevent a zero down-time upgrade? (Assume upgrade order: Controller, Broker, Server, Minion) * [ ] Yes (Please label as **<code>backward-incompat</code>**, and complete the section below on Release Notes) Does this PR fix a zero-downtime upgrade introduced earlier? * [ ] Yes (Please label this as **<code>backward-incompat</code>**, and complete the section below on Release Notes) Does this PR otherwise need attention when creating release notes? Things to consider: - New configuration options - Deprecation of configurations - Signature changes to public methods/interfaces - New plugins added or old plugins removed * [ ] Yes (Please label this PR as **<code>release-notes</code>** and complete the section on Release Notes) ## Release Notes If you have tagged this as either backward-incompat or release-notes, you MUST add text here that you would like to see appear in release notes of the next release. If you have a series of commits adding or enabling a feature, then add this section only in final commit that marks the feature completed. Refer to earlier release notes to see examples of text ## Documentation If you have introduced a new feature or configuration, please add it to the documentation as well.
