That's actually what I wanted to go with first, but a problem occurred when I implemented it. When the ThreadPool dequeues the worker queue and sees that the dequeued task is in stopped state it does not re-enqueue the task, but simply throws it away. The task remains in the task states map, but changing its state has no effect afterwards. This is why I wanted to distinguish a stopped task from a paused task by moving the paused tasks to separate map when they are processed and later re-enqueueing them when they are resumed thus keeping the original behavior of the stopped tasks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
