MLflow tracing deadlock fixed with queue lifecycle adjustment

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A concurrency deadlock in MLflow's AsyncTraceExportQueue was resolved by adjusting its lifecycle management. The issue occurred when a late `put()` operation could add a task after the consumer thread had already exited, preventing `queue.join()` from completing. The fix serializes concurrent `flush()` calls and ensures that late tasks are handled synchronously, preventing the `unfinished_tasks` counter from becoming permanently stuck. AI
