Hi Ashish,

It actually appears that there is no exception thrown by default when 
future-cancel is called on the thread *unless* you manage to overlook java 
functions that include some type of interrupt status handling.  As I 
managed to do.

Take a look at my below test-interrupt-status-2 that includes a try/catch 
loop to see what I mean.

Thanks.
