The first read of a non-unique index after a store reopens runs the lazy layout migration in SingleFieldIndex, which drops the legacy map. That migration is guarded per SingleFieldIndex instance, but ComparableIndexer.findNitriteIndex created instances with an unsynchronized check-then-act, so several threads arriving at once each got their own instance and each ran the migration. NitriteMVMap.drop() likewise tested its dropped flag and then ignored the result of its compare-and-set, and NitriteMVStore.openMap handed out one wrapper per caller. Once the first thread had removed the map, MVMap.getName() answered null for the rest, and NitriteMVStore.removeMap(null) died in ConcurrentHashMap.remove:

NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.hashCode()" because "key" is null
at NitriteMVStore.removeMap
at NitriteMVMap.drop
at SingleFieldIndex.migrateLegacyIndex

A second shape of the same race is a NullPointerException from Attributes.set via NitriteMap.updateLastModifiedTime, which read getName() several times.

Seen on a production system on the first multi-threaded lookup after every restart, since every close left an empty map under the legacy name (fixed by #1295) and every start had to drop it again.

  • ComparableIndexer registers the index with computeIfAbsent, so the per-instance guard in SingleFieldIndex is the guard.
  • NitriteMVStore.openMap and openRTree register the wrapper with computeIfAbsent, so every holder shares one dropped flag; removeMap ignores a null name and does not open (and thereby create) a map that is no longer in the store.
  • NitriteMVMap captures its name at open and acts only when its compare-and-set succeeds, so drop() and close() run once and never ask MVMap for a name it no longer has.
  • NitriteMap.updateLastModifiedTime reads the name once.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when maps are closed or removed, preserving their names for cleanup and metadata updates.
    • Prevented accidental creation of empty maps when attempting to remove maps that no longer exist.
    • Improved concurrent access behavior to avoid duplicate map wrappers and index instances.
    • Added safeguards against duplicate close and drop operations during concurrent activity.

… cannot run twice

The first read of a non-unique index after a store reopens runs the lazy layout
migration in SingleFieldIndex, which drops the legacy map. That migration is
guarded per SingleFieldIndex instance, but ComparableIndexer.findNitriteIndex
created instances with an unsynchronized check-then-act, so several threads
arriving at once each got their own instance and each ran the migration.
NitriteMVMap.drop() likewise tested its dropped flag and then ignored the result
of its compare-and-set, and NitriteMVStore.openMap handed out one wrapper per
caller. Once the first thread had removed the map, MVMap.getName() answered null
for the rest, and NitriteMVStore.removeMap(null) died in ConcurrentHashMap.remove:

  NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.hashCode()" because "key" is null
    at NitriteMVStore.removeMap
    at NitriteMVMap.drop
    at SingleFieldIndex.migrateLegacyIndex

A second shape of the same race is a NullPointerException from Attributes.set
via NitriteMap.updateLastModifiedTime, which read getName() several times.

Seen on a production system on the first multi-threaded lookup after every
restart, since every close left an empty map under the legacy name (fixed by
nitrite#1295) and every start had to drop it again.

- ComparableIndexer registers the index with computeIfAbsent, so the per-instance
  guard in SingleFieldIndex is the guard.
- NitriteMVStore.openMap and openRTree register the wrapper with computeIfAbsent,
  so every holder shares one dropped flag; removeMap ignores a null name and does
  not open (and thereby create) a map that is no longer in the store.
- NitriteMVMap captures its name at open and acts only when its compare-and-set
  succeeds, so drop() and close() run once and never ask MVMap for a name it no
  longer has.
- NitriteMap.updateLastModifiedTime reads the name once.

The changes stabilize map names after removal, make map and index registry updates atomic, and prevent removal of nonexistent MVStore maps.

Changes

Map and index concurrency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stable map identity and lifecycle guards
nitrite-mvstore-adapter/.../NitriteMVMap.java, nitrite/.../NitriteMap.java
Map wrappers capture names at construction. Drop and close use atomic guards. Metadata updates reuse one captured name.
Atomic map registration and removal
nitrite-mvstore-adapter/.../NitriteMVStore.java
Map and R-tree registries use computeIfAbsent. Map removal validates the name and checks whether the underlying map exists.
Atomic index creation
nitrite/.../ComparableIndexer.java
Index lookup uses computeIfAbsent while preserving compound and single-field index selection.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this concurrency fix because it is limited to atomic index and map-wrapper initialization during legacy-index migration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e1e33

Concurrent close, drop, and reopen operations can remove the replacement map wrapper and reintroduce duplicate initialization failures. This should be fixed before merge.

Remove the registry entry only when it still identifies this wrapper.

A close() call can win closedFlag, then pause before this call. A concurrent drop() removes the old wrapper and map. A later openMap(name, ...) can register a new wrapper. This stale closeMap(name) then removes the new wrapper because NitriteMVStore.closeMap uses unconditional nitriteMapRegistry.remove(name).

Use an identity-conditional registry removal, such as remove(name, this), through the store API. This preserves one wrapper per name after a concurrent close, drop, and reopen sequence.
