I also feel like users may want to be able to restart the global thread. I think we can consider that out of scope for now, but I'd prefer to avoid introducing a new method that just accepts the old kind of uncaught exception handler if we're just going to deprecate that too. But I do agree that it's pretty different, and we also don't want to commit to adding this functionality for the global thread right away so we should make sure it's clear what is and isn't implemented. So what do you think about mirroring the new handler for the StreamThread, eg adding a "GlobalUncaughtExceptionHandler", and just only including the `SHUTDOWN_THREAD` enum in the initial version? That way we're set up to easily extend the global handling feature without necessarily needing to implement it right away ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
