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

I don't think we should do anything here on the Oak side as we are dealing with 
[documented side 
effects|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/channels/InterruptibleChannel.html]
 of {{Thread.interrupt}}. We should rather discourage the usage of 
{{Thread.interrupt}} as:
* it is overloaded in multiple unpredictable ways,
* {{catch (InterruptedException ignore)}} is prevalent (and usually wrong),
* in most cases it breaks separation of concerns (concurrency vs. business 
logic). 

We should instead provide guidance to users how to best replace usages of 
{{Thread.interrupt}} by safer alternatives. 

OTOH fixing this in Oak means concealing deeper issues and depending on your 
POV event breaking above general contract on channels.

> We have a sporadic problem with Sling's JCR installer 3.3.8 and Oak (tar mk). 
> It seems to timing related: the JCR installer does a Thread#interrupt at one 
> point and sometimes this brings the hole instance to stop. Nothing else is 
> going on any more. 
> While of course, a workaround is to remove the Thread.interrupt call in the 
> JCR installer (which we did, see SLING-4477), I have the fear that this can 
> happen with any code that is using the repository and gets interrupted.
> This error is hard to reproduce, however with three people testing we could 
> see this several times happening
