For convenience, it was decided that reading data can be done on EDT without read locks (even implicitly acquired).</p><p id="z7olnq5_405" class="article__p h3-related">The consequence of this was that writing had to be allowed only on EDT to avoid read/write conflicts. The nature of EDT provided this possibility out-of-the-box due to being a single thread. Event queue guaranteed that reads and writes were ordered and executed one by one and couldn't interweave.</p></section><section class="chapter h2-related"><h3 id="why-can-write-intent-lock-be-acquired-from-any-thread-but-write-lock-only-from-edt" data-toc="why-can-write-intent-lock-be-acquired-from-any-thread-but-write-lock-only-from-edt" class="article__h3"><span class="title"><span class="title__content">Why can write intent lock be acquired from any thread but write lock only from EDT?</span><a data-test="internal-link permalink" rel="" class="link-nude permalink" href="/docs/intellij/threading-model.html#why-can-write-intent-lock-be-acquired-from-any-thread-but-write-lock-only-from-edt"><span data-clipboard-text="https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/threading-model.html#why-can-write-intent-lock-be-acquired-from-any-thread-but-write-lock-only-from-edt"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="wt-icon wt-icon_size_xs permalink__icon permalink__icon--size-xs"><path d="M14.094 3.801a3.093 3.093 0 0 0-4.373 0L6.653 6.87l.964.964 3.068-3.069A1.729 1.729 0 0 1 13.13 7.21l-3.068 3.069.964.964 3.068-3.068a3.093 3.093 0 0 0 0-4.374z"></path><path d="M5.313 11.618a1.729 1.729 0 0 1-2.445-2.445l3.068-3.068-.964-.964-3.068 3.068a3.092 3.092 0 0 0 4.373 4.374l3.069-3.069-.965-.964z"></path></svg></span></a></span></h3><p id="z7olnq5_406" class="article__p h3-related">In the current platform state, technically, write intent lock can be acquired on any thread (it is done only on EDT in practice), but write lock can be acquired only on EDT.</p><p id="z7olnq5_407" class="article__p h3-related">Write intent lock was introduced as a "replacement" for EDT in the context of acquiring write lock. Instead of allowing to acquire write lock on EDT only, it was planned to make it possible to acquire it from under write intent lock on any thread. Write intent lock provides read access that was also available on EDT. This behavior wasn't enabled in production, and the planned locking mechanism has changed. It is planned to allow for acquiring write lock from any thread, even without a write intent lock. Write intent lock will be still available and will allow performing read sessions finished with data writing.</p><blockquote class="prompt h3-related" data-test-id="lnz31KRs2k_tuVa_i18QG"><h3 class="a11y-title">note</h3><div class="prompt__wrapper prompt__wrapper--type-note" data-test="prompt"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="wt-icon wt-icon_size_m prompt__icon"><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 1 1-9-9 9 9 0 0 1 9 9zM10.5 7.5A1.5 1.5 0 1 0 12 6a1.5 1.5 0 0 0-1.5 1.5zm-.5 3.54v1h1V18h2v-6a.96.96 0 0 0-.96-.96z"></path></svg><div class="prompt__content"><div class="prompt__title">Something missing?</div><p id="z7olnq5_411" class="article__p child">If a topic you are interested in is not covered in the above sections, let us know via the <span class="control" id="z7olnq5_413">Was this page helpful?</span> feedback form below or <a data-test="internal-link " rel="" class="link" id="z7olnq5_414" href="getting-help.html#problems-with-the-guide">other channels</a>.</p><p id="z7olnq5_412" class="article__p child">Please be specific about the topics and reasons for adding them, and leave your email in case we need more details.
