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

             Summary: Add ability to log thread dump when thread pool is 
full/blocked
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11713
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11713
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Observability
            Reporter: Paulo Motta
            Assignee: Paulo Motta
            Priority: Minor


Thread dumps are very useful for troubleshooting thread pool contention issues 
like CASSANDRA-11363 and CASSANDRA-11529.

While they could be generated externally with {{jstack}}, sometimes the 
conditions are transient and it's hard to catch the exact moment when they 
happen, so it could be useful to generate and log them upon user request when 
certain internal condition happens.

I propose adding a {{logThreadDumpOnNextContention}} JMX flag to 
{{SEPExecutor}} and {{JMXEnabledThreadPoolExecutor}} that when enabled 
generates and logs a single thread dump on the system log when the thread pool 
queue is full.
