             Summary: Cannot shutdown Java server when clients are still 
connected
                 Key: THRIFT-4252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4252
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
            Reporter: Mario Emmenlauer


I found issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2441 and I believe 
that the same problem still exists in the Java servers, and I'm affected by it. 
Short summary: I can not shut down the Java server (neither TSimpleServer nor 
TThreadedServer) while clients are still
connected. That is pretty bad, because essentially the clients are not under by 
control, but
they can essentially "block" server maintenance operations by blocking the 
shutdown.

In more detail:
I have a Java TSimpleServer runnable in a thread running. The main thread 
eventually asks the server to stop(). But they seem to ignore the request. I 
checked the code of TSimpleServer.java and I'm under the impression that the 
innermost loop the server does not poll the variable stopped_ or does it? 
Looking at 
https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/java/src/org/apache/thrift/server/TSimpleServer.java
 from line 76:
{code}
          while (true) {
            if (eventHandler_ != null) {
              eventHandler_.processContext(connectionContext, inputTransport, 
outputTransport);
            }
            if(!processor.process(inputProtocol, outputProtocol)) {
              break;
            }
          }
{code}

I found that this loop is only interrupted if the client disconnects. I tried 
changing `while(true)` for `while(!stopped_)` but that did not help. I guess 
that one of the methods in the loop must be blocking.
