Tom Jenkinson commented on JBTM-2949:
-------------------------------------

I am wary about this due to the fact that someone would need to track the JDK source to see if the implementation ever changed (given the description of the API itself)

> JBTM-2808 adds synchronization on {{ThreadUtil.getThreadId()}} but that solution does not scale well enough under high contention. 
> There seems to be ways to remove this synchronization:
> # *ConcurrentWeakHashMap* - replace the current {{WeakHashMap}} for a similar data structure that can handle concurrent access. This keeps the same behavior.
> # *Use Thread.getId()* - remove all mappings and generate the {{threadId}} from the {{Thread}}. Although the javadoc mentions that IDs can be reused, the implementation is a counter, like what {{ThreadUtil}} has now. This is the simplest and most elegant fix.
> # *Remove {{threadId}}* - remove the generation of {{threadId}} and use the {{Thread}} throughout the code, generating string IDs when necessary. Probably yields the best performance, but requires the most changes.
