[Bug] moneybatcher sample race condition?
What are you really trying to do?
I am trying to learn how to do batching using temporal. I found the moneybatch sample and I wanted to make sure that it can handle requests in parallel.
To simulate the behavior, I changed the workflow to withdraw more times than a single batch size as well as added a delay during the deposit call. What this lead to is that the workflow would continue to run and not complete, it won't even process a single batch.
Describe the bug
This is related to the condition in the workflow:
Workflow.await(() -> count == batchSize);
If count suddenly goes from 0 to a value greater than batchSize, the workflow will continue to run and not complete.
I am new to temporal, so I am not quite sure how to fix this. Is this a bug in the sample or am I doing something wrong?
Minimal Reproduction
Download this branch: https://github.com/derwasp/samples-java/tree/derwasp/moneybatcher
Either run ./run-moneybatch-demo.sh and observe the logs.
Or run the test TransferWorkflowTest and see the failure.
