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

[~ben.craig] Ideally we would remove TThreadedServer and have implementations 
transition to TThreadPoolServer which provides the same functionality.  Given 
how fundamentally broken the TThreadedServer is provided in thrift-0.9.3 and 
the lack of feedback on the subject, I'm implementing TThreadedServer as a 
subclass of TThreadPoolServer.

[~ben.craig] Ideally we would remove TThreadedServer and have implementations 
transition to TThreadPoolServer which provides the same functionality.  Given 
how fundamentally broken the TThreadedServer is provided in thrift-0.9.3 and 
the lack of feedback on the subject, I'm removing it as part of this work which 
relates to THRIFT-3096.

There's no good reason to maintain both threaded server implementations other 
than backwards compatibility, which is easily fixed with a minor code change by 
the consumer.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: C++ - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.3

> Here's a sequence that shows the race:
> Thread-1 (Users of TThreadedServer): Calls TThreadedServer::stop(), which 
> calls interruptChildren and initiates the tearing down of client connections.
> Thread-2: In TServerFramework::serve(), broke out of accept, and now blocks 
> in TThreadedServer::serve() waiting to drain all the clients.
> Thread-3 (The connected client thread created by TThreadedServer): In 
> disposeConnectedClient, running because the server is shutting down and the 
> shared_ptr specified this function to be the cleanup function for the client. 
> This thread just returned from onClientDisconnected and now context switches.
> Thread-2: TThreadedServer::serve() is notified that all of the clients have 
> disconnected and completes.
> Thread-1: Joins on Thread-2 and destroys the server object because it is done.
> Thread-3: Finally gets a chance to run, but now encounters undefined behavior 
> because it is still executing a member function of an object that has been 
> destroyed.
> You can force this race in action if you put sleep(1) before 
> onClientDisconnected() in disposeConnectedClient
