BlobStore#clearContainer never returns after closing BlobStoreContext

[Bram Pouwelse]

Hi,

I'm running into some never ending integration tests in my prohect after
upgrading jcouds to 1.9.2, this seems to be caused by calling
BlobStore#clearContainer after the BlobStoreContext has been closed. I've
attached a patch to demonstrate this issue using the
org.jclouds.blobstore.integration.TransientServiceIntegrationTest at the
end of this mail.

After figuring out the root cause of my problem I did some more tests and I
don't really get what the close method is supposed to do, If I try the same
using the filesystem provider there is no issue? How is it possible the
BlobStoreContext (and BlobStore instances created from that context) are
still usable after closing the context?

Regards,
Bram

Patch (tested on the 1.9.x branch):
