Hongchao Deng commented on ZOOKEEPER-1907:
------------------------------------------

[~rakeshr].

Added some comments. I have two concerns and let's discuss it in the JIRA:

1. The handleException() in ZK critical Thread seems to be duplicate to the 
added "notify and shut it down" function. How can we make this part cleaner?

2. What about multiple calls to shutdown()?

> Server has many critical threads running and co-ordinating each other like  
> RequestProcessor chains et. When going through each threads, most of them 
> having the similar structure like:
> {code}
> public void run() {
>         try {
>               while(running)
>                    // processing logic
>               }
>         } catch (InterruptedException e) {
>             LOG.error("Unexpected interruption", e);
>         } catch (Exception e) {
>             LOG.error("Unexpected exception", e);
>         }
>         LOG.info("...exited loop!");
> }
> {code}
> From the design I could see, there could be a chance of silently leaving the 
> thread by swallowing the exception. If this happens in the production, the 
> server would get hanged forever and would not be able to deliver its role. 
> Now its hard for the management tool to detect this.
> The idea of this JIRA is to discuss and imprv.
