Yang Ye commented on KAFKA-356: ------------------------------- Jay, thanks for the comments. 1. Yeah, as also commented by Jun 2. logIdent is a field inherited from the Thread class, which is printed out first, then the log messages you specify. Say if you have logIdent "A class, " and it says info("blabla") in your code, the actual log will be "A class, blabla", this also answers comment 4, 5 3. Yeah I can, but it seems that in our whole project, we don't use scaladoc syntaxes other than "/**, */": https://wiki.scala-lang.org/display/SW/Syntax, so I won't use fancy syntaxes like bold, italic, link, etc. 6. I have thought about that, but neither BackgroundThread nor WorkerThread carry much meaning. So what about "InterruptableThread" 7. I've changed it to doWork() > Create a generic Kafka thread class that includes basic boiler plate code of > instantiating and shutting down threads cleanly > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-356 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-356 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Neha Narkhede > Assignee: Yang Ye > Labels: optimization > Attachments: kafka_356_v1.diff, kafka_356_v2.diff > > > We have a lot of threads that basically run in a loop and use an isRunning > atomic boolean and count down latch.

Verifying the lifecycle details > for each is kind of a pain and it pretty easy to either not cleanly shutdown > all the threads. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
