Hi all, It is a known fact that some operations in Carbon are somewhat long running, and need sometime to complete. On the other hand, we have the stuck thread detection logic which will ensure processes complete in a timely manner. The two concepts don't quite complement each other, especially when there is something that takes more than 10 minutes. As a solution to this, Azeez and I discussed a solution around Job Management in Carbon. Right now, after a service, webapp, registry resource is uploaded, we just ask the user to keep refreshing the page to see what happened, and we have worked around the limitation of the stuck thread detection by introducing a separate thread. So the idea here is to create some sort of "Pending Tasks" in the Carbon UIs, which allows both user to see what's pending and existing JSPs to display proper "loading" icons etc.
Also, another benefit of this approach is that if you want to deploy multiple services, and it takes really long or if you want to upload an archive containing 1000s of resources in to G-Reg, you no longer need to keep staring at the screen until the task completes. So, I have created a JIRA item to make sure we introduce this useful feature into Carbon, [1]. Also, at the same time, there is a serious resource clean-up bug around the stuck thread detection logic. If a thread dies, the resources allocated are not recycled. This is very harmful (for example DB connections in registry). So, we need some hooks to register resource clean-up logic, [2].
