The way the loop is constructed: ``` private void backgroundOperationsLoop() { while ( !Thread.interrupted() ) { ... } ``` ALREADY eats the interrupted status. Simply checking `Thread.interrupted()` consumes it. If you want to consistently enforce a rule that you always re-interrupt threads (which is a good rule in general, although not necessary here) then you need an unconditional re-interrupt at the end of the method. Do you want me to add that? My point is that putting the interrupt only in the catch block is inconsistent. It re-interrupts in the case where an InterruptedException gets throws, and fails to re-interrupt when the loop exits without exception.
