             Summary: Avoid blocking in ShutdownableThread.awaitShutdown if the 
thread has not been started
                 Key: KAFKA-7956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7956
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Gardner Vickers


Opening this Jira to track [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/6218], since 
it's a rather subtle change.

In some test cases it's desirable to instantiate a subclass of 
`ShutdownableThread` without starting it. Since most subclasses of 
`ShutdownableThread` put cleanup logic in `ShutdownableThread.shutdown()`, 
being able to call `shutdown()` on the non-running thread would be useful.

This change allows us to avoid blocking in `ShutdownableThread.shutdown()` if 
the thread's `run()` method has not been called. We also add a check that 
`initiateShutdown()` was called before `awaitShutdown()`, to protect against 
the case where a user calls `awaitShutdown()` before the thread has been 
started, and unexpectedly is not blocked on the thread shutting down.
