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

             Summary: Discarding Throwable exceptions makes threads unkillable.
                 Key: HELIX-549
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-549
             Project: Apache Helix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.6.3
            Reporter: Antony T Curtis
            Priority: Blocker


Threads in loops which catch and discard Throwable end up discarding 
ThreadDeath exceptions. This causes Thread.stop() to be effectively ignored.
