That means you are using the BIO AJP connector.

You don't have a problem with long running requests.

You have a problem with thread starvation.

AJP uses persistent connections.

BIO requires one thread per connection, regardless of whether or nor
that connection is processing a request or waiting for the next one.

httpd will (eventually, assuming mostly default config) create one AJP
connection for each httpd thread. If you have more httpd threads than
Tomcat threads you will eventually reach the point where httpd can't
create a Tomcat thread it requires and at that point it will appear to hang.

There are several possible fixes:
a) disable connection re-use in httpd for AJP connections
b) use the NIO AJP connector in Tomcat
c) increase maxThreads in Tomcat so it is > max threads in httpd

For more explanation read this:

from slide 29 to 33
