             Summary: CMR collection gets corrupted in 2LC on certain concurrent access
                 Key: WFLY-7127
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7127
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: EJB, JPA / Hibernate, Transactions
    Affects Versions: 10.1.0.Final
         Environment: Ubuntu Linux 15.10. Java 1.8.0_66
            Reporter: Jari Juslin
            Assignee: Scott Marlow
         Attachments: infinispan_cmr_corruption_repro.tar.gz, standalone.xml

With certain parallel read and write access to same CMR collection it gets corrupted in Hibernate second level cache. After the event of corruption, any read access to that CMR collection ends up in Exception until the cache is cleared manually or Wildfly restarted.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Make sure the CMR collection is not in cache.
2) Start a read-only transaction accessing the said collection.
3) In a separate transaction delete an element from that collection.
4) End the read-only transaction.
5) Read the resulting collection. It now throws EntityNotFoundException.

My understanding is that what happens is that the read-only transaction is read-only from the perspective of the database, so the system handles it as such. However, because for the 2LC it is actually a write transaction, when the transaction ends, the contents of the CMR collection visible to this transaction get committed to 2LC. If the write transaction ends before the read-only transaction, the old version of the collection stays in the 2LC.

Now, as the CMR collection contains an element already deleted from the DB, any attempt to manifest the collection results in EntityNotFoundException as the child element no longer exists in the DB.

For sake of repeatibility the test case here manually spawns threads to cause the effect. In real use, of course, this happens randomly when two different threads spawned by Wildfly happen to interleave with exactly a right kind of pattern.
