Siegfried Goeschl updated EXEC-99:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Sometimes the current PumpStreamHandler when a process is killed but its child 
process streams are processed by PumpStreamHandler

* The behaviour is not always reproducable and might depend on JDK and/or OS  
* Closing the processed stream does not seem work 
* Using Thread.interrupt() on reading from a stream does not work due to an old 
JDK issue
* Thread.stop() is deprecated and has no effect on JDK 8
* Hence the the stream pumper thread is stuck and can't terminate
* So we hang in PumpStreamHandler().stop

There was a bug fix to avoid hanging forever but this leaves the pumper thread 
behind which could break a production system.

As a work-around I propose a "NonBlockingPumpStreamHandler" 

* use only on worker thread to process a streams
* using Thread.sleep() between processing of the streams
* can be stopped safely since there are no blocking operations
* it will be much slower processing the streams which could block the child 
process

It might be a good idea to hide those implementation behind a factory
