ConcurrentModificationException in GetFeature under heavy load
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4329
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4329

            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
             Fix For: 2.1-RC2

Under heavy load of both GetFeature and DescribeFeatureType we get failures in GetFeature in roughly 10% of the GetFeature requests with the following stack trace:

This is probably related to the substitution group handling in gt-xsd as the problem occurrs while visiting substitution groups for _Feature.
The patches committed on GeoTools at revision 35934,35936,35937 have been beneficial in this respect, as the same test against GS 2.0.2
results in well over 90% failures instead (which do start with the same stack trace, but eventually lead to NPE as some null finds its way into
the substitution group list), but I guess it's not enough since it's still possible to reproduce failures.

I'm going to attach a JMeter script that makes the problem evident: it creates two groups of 40 threads that do run concurrently, one makes
a lot of DFT (8000, as they are quick to process), the other one some GetFeature (800).
