Describe the bug
It is possible to encounter an unexpected crash due to using the shared variable array in multiple locations (variable name is counters, in TestFluentLogger). In one place at Line 403 sets the value in this data-structure, whereas another location at Line 461 gets the value from this shared variable. However, there is no synchronization given between these accesses. As a result, anytime due to the existence of multiple threads, the program may crash.
Expected behavior
No crash is expected
Additional context
When I investigated the TestFluentLogger class, I found that the counters is a shared variable declared at Line 385 that is used at Line 403, Line 461. Here, the unexpected crash or inconsistency may occur if multiple threads interleave.
Environment:
I ran the test on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine using OpenJDK 1.8.0_312.
