InstanceAlreadyExistsException: jetbrains.exodus.entitystore: type=EntityStoreConfig

Question

What would cause this exception to be thrown?

Caused by: javax.management.InstanceAlreadyExistsException: jetbrains.exodus.entitystore: type=EntityStoreConfig, location=/var/xodus/master, name=persistentEntityStore

From this code:

public PersistentEntityStore getPersistentEntityStore(String xodusRoot, String dir, boolean isReadOnly) {
    
        if(persistentEntityStoreCache == null) {
          persistentEntityStoreCache = buildPersistentEntityStoreCache();
        }
        PersistentEntityStore entityStore = persistentEntityStoreCache.get(xodusRoot + dir);
        if (entityStore == null) {
          Environment environment = getEnvironment(xodusRoot, dir);
          entityStore = PersistentEntityStores.newInstance(environment); // <-- here
   entityStore.getConfig().setDebugSearchForIncomingLinksOnDelete(true);
          entityStore.getConfig().setRefactoringHeavyLinks(true);
          entityStore.getConfig().setManagementEnabled(false);
          PersistentEntityStore finalEntityStore = entityStore;
          entityStore.executeInTransaction(
                  txn -> {
                    finalEntityStore.registerCustomPropertyType(
                        txn, EmbeddedEntityIterable.class, EmbeddedEntityBinding.BINDING);
                    finalEntityStore.registerCustomPropertyType(
                        txn, EmbeddedArrayIterable.class, EmbeddedEntityBinding.BINDING);
                    persistentEntityStoreCache.put(xodusRoot + dir, finalEntityStore);
                  });
        }
        PersistentEntityStore persistentEntityStore = persistentEntityStoreCache.get(xodusRoot + dir);
        return persistentEntityStore;
      }

All settings that are documented as Mutable at runtime: no cannot be modified after instance is created. At least, such modifications have no effect. So you should turn management off before creation of the EntityStore instance, not after:

Environment environment = getEnvironment(xodusRoot, dir);
PersistentEntityStoreConfig config = new PersistentEntityStoreConfig().setManagementEnabled(false);
entityStore = PersistentEntityStores.newInstance(environment, config, "your EntityStore name");
