Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-3429:
-------------------------------------
I didn't check and this should be a no-issue, even when you call stop() because
stop() is supposed to throw a ThreadDeathError at the current execution point.
interrupt() doesn't do anything other than setting a thread flag (it does
interrupt i/o and monitors, but not busy loops). I don't think it's what we
want.
I didn't check on linux/ macos yet, didn't have time.

> Currently, if tests hang in hudson it can go hung for days until we manually
> kill it.
> The problem is that when a hang happens its probably serious, what we want to
> do (I think), is:
> # time out the build.
> # ensure we have enough debugging information to hopefully fix any hang.
> So I think the ideal solution would be:
> # add a sysprop "-D" that LuceneTestCase respects, it could default to no
> timeout at all (some value like zero).
> # when a timeout is set, LuceneTestCase spawns an additional timer thread for
> the test class? method?
> # if the timeout is exceeded, LuceneTestCase dumps all thread/stack
> information, random seed information to hopefully reproduce the hang, and
> fails the test.
> # nightly builds would pass some reasonable -D for each test.
> separately, I think we should have an "ant-level" timeout for the whole
> build, in case it goes completely crazy (e.g. jvm completely hangs or
> something else), just as an additional safety.
