    Description

      On the user list, Christian Leitinger noted that his team found a potential issue with the thread safety of the encoding detector. I was able to reproduce this with on the corpus of html files in faghani's encoding detector.

          @Test
          public void testMultiThreadingEncodingDetection() throws Exception {
      
              Path testDocs = Paths.get("C:/data/encodings/corpus");
              List<Path> paths = new ArrayList<>();
              Map<Path, String> encodings = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
              for (File encodingDirs : testDocs.toFile().listFiles()) {
                  for (File file : encodingDirs.listFiles()) {
                          String encoding = getEncoding(file.toPath());
                          paths.add(file.toPath());
                          encodings.put(file.toPath(), encoding);
                  }
              }
              int numThreads = 1000;
              ExecutorService ex = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numThreads);
              CompletionService<String> completionService =
                      new ExecutorCompletionService<>(ex);
      
              for (int i = 0; i < numThreads; i++) {
                  completionService.submit(new EncodingDetectorRunner(paths, encodings), "done");
              }
              int completed = 0;
              while (completed < numThreads) {
                  Future<String> future = completionService.take();
                  if (future.isDone() && "done".equals(future.get())) {
                      completed++;
                  }
              }
              assertTrue("success!", true);
          }
      
          private class EncodingDetectorRunner implements Runnable {
              private final List<Path> paths;
              private final Map<Path, String> encodings;
              private final Random r = new Random();
              private EncodingDetectorRunner(List<Path> paths, Map<Path, String> encodings) {
                  this.paths = paths;
                  this.encodings = encodings;
              }
      
              @Override
              public void run() {
                  for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
                      int pInd = r.nextInt(paths.size());
      
                      String detectedEncoding = null;
                      try {
                          detectedEncoding = getEncoding(paths.get(pInd));
                      } catch (Exception e) {
                          throw new RuntimeException(e);
                      }
                      String trueEncoding = encodings.get(paths.get(pInd));
                      if (! detectedEncoding.equals(trueEncoding)) {
                          throw new RuntimeException("detected: " + detectedEncoding +
                                  " but should have been: "+trueEncoding + " for " + paths.get(pInd));
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      
          public String getEncoding(Path p) throws Exception {
              try (InputStream is = TikaInputStream.get(p)) {
                  AutoDetectReader reader = new AutoDetectReader(is);
                  String val = reader.getCharset().toString();
                  if (val == null) {
                      return "NULL";
                  } else {
                      return val;
                  }
              }
          }
      

      yields:

      ava.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: detected: ISO-8859-1 but should have been: windows-1252 for C:\data\encodings\corpus\Shift_JIS\1
