scala - 使用Scala的Actor时如何避免竞争条件

我正在编写一段代码，当缓冲区（列表）增长到一定大小时，它将填充MongoDB集合。

import scala.actors.Actor
import com.mongodb.casbah.Imports._
import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class PopulateDB extends Actor {
  val buffer = new ListBuffer[DBObject]
  val mongoConn = MongoConnection()
  val mongoCol = mongoConn("casbah_test")("logs")

  def add(info: DBObject = null) {
    if (info != null) buffer += info

    if (buffer.size > 0 && (info == null || buffer.length >= 1000)) {
      mongoCol.insert(buffer.toList)
      buffer.clear
      println("adding a batch")
    }
  }

  def act() {
    loop {
      react {
        case info: DBObject => add(info)

        case msg if msg == "closeConnection" =>
          println("Close connection")
          add()
          mongoConn.close
      }
    }
  }
}

但是，当我运行以下代码时，scala偶尔会在“mongocol.insert（buffer.tolist）”行上抛出一个“concurrentmodificationexception”。我很肯定这和“mongocol.insert”有关。我想知道代码是否有根本性的错误。或者我应该使用类似akka的“原子{…}”来避免这个问题。

最佳答案

dbobject不是线程安全的；您正在用actor消息发送一个dbobject。它很可能稍后再次被修改，这将导致并发修改问题。
我建议首先尝试在dbobject进入actor时对其使用clone()，然后将其放入缓冲区。它只是一个浅拷贝，但至少应该足以在linkedhashmap上引起并发修改问题，linkedhashmap支持dbobject上的键（由于lhm而保持顺序）。
我会尝试：

  def act() {
    loop {
      react {
        case info: DBObject => add(info.clone())

        case msg if msg == "closeConnection" =>
          println("Close connection")
          add()
          mongoConn.close
      }
    }
  }

如果这不起作用，那么在dbobject被发送给actor之后，看看您正在修改的其他任何地方。
