Hey All, First some insights on the design of ThreadContext and TheadContextListener. It was essentially created to be the "one thread local to rule them all" and eliminate the need for multiple thread locals. A ThreadContext is supposed to be thread-safe and not shared by multiple threads. On the surface with that design in mind, there should be no reason to have a ThreadLocal in a ThreadContextListener as is done on this PR. That's essentially putting a ThreadLocal on a ThreadLocal. If handling of the first thread local is broken and the ThreadContext is getting leaked, we'd want to fix that issue as it would be very serious. Said another way, we'd want to fix the first TheadLocal handling vs leaving it broken and adding more TheadLocals. @ammannmi @otbutz could you both subscribe to the dev list so we can talk this through there?
