[january-dev] IMetadata and synchronization?

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I've noticed that the impls of the 
IDataset.addMetadata(T)/getMetadata(Class<T>) methods in in 
LazyDatasetBase don't have any synchronization.  Of course this means 
that they aren't threadsafe...i.e. one could get NPE or 
ConcurrentModificationException when accessing metadata via multiple 
threads.

Should this be considered a problem/bug, or is there some other accepted 
way for multithreaded access to IDataset metadata?   If a bug/limitation 
let me know and I will open one.

Thanks,

Scott
