Goal
Why are values sometimes saved correct or incorrectly when stored in static variables during a batch run specifically batch executed using thread pool?EXAMPLE 1: Static Variable used as counter
X is a static variable
Start Batch Run 1: X = 0, 0 is the default value for integer
End Batch Run 1: X = 5
Start Batch Run 2: X = 5
JVM threadpools are started each time for the batch run but the threadpool seems to remember the previous value.
Why does X retain its value from the previous batch run?

EXAMPLE 2: Static Variable used to store batch parameter value
X is a static variable
Batch Parameter = A
Batch Run 1: X = A
Batch Parameter = B
Batch Run 2: X can either be A, B or blank.
The batch parameter Report Name value was change so when the batch was executed, the batch raised a null pointer exception since the static variable didn't have any value. But when the batch was executed again, it now has a value.
Why is that there are times when the variable stores different value?
