--------------------------------------------

Hi Henry

The issue with the example i sent is that when the condition notify happens in 
the python callback, the main process thread can start running before the 
callback has exited and the completion thread will still be running. It could 
probably make be made more explicit for reproducing by inserting a 
time.sleep(1) line into the callback after the notify.

This is the stack trace for the completion thread on deadlock.

>         Environment: ubuntu 10.04, zookeeper 3.3.0 and trunk

>
> deadlocks occur if we attempt to close a handle while there are any 
> outstanding async requests (aget, acreate, etc). Normally on close both the 
> io thread terminates and the completion thread are terminated and joined, 
> however w\ith outstanding async requests, the completion thread won't be in a 
> joinable state, and we effectively hang when the main thread does the join.
> afaics ideal behavior would be on close of a handle, to effectively clear out 
> any remaining callbacks and let the completion thread terminate.
> i've tried adding some bookkeeping to within a python client to guard against 
> closing while there is an outstanding async completion request, but its an 
> imperfect solution since even after the python callback is executed there is 
> still a window for deadlock before the completion thread finishes the 
> callback.
> a simple example to reproduce the deadlock is attached.
