Hanging after OutOfMemory exception

Running Cassandra as an embedded service (not really related I think), and due to an out-of-memory exception ( 'wrong' configuration from my part ), I could make the system hang although I would have liked it to stop running.

Below I copied pieces of the stack trace that are related in my opinion. Attached is a file with all parameters (java, machine, libs, ...) and the stack trace.
Hopefully this helps make the code better (or my code ...)

Greets,
Ignace

Here is my opinion :

Thread-174 is processing a System.exit() due to the uncaughtException handling in CassandraDaemon. That System.exit() gets a lock and runs the ApplicationShutdownHooks.

The StorageService has a shutdownhook called StorageServiceShutdownHook. That hook is calling CommitLog.instance.shutdownBlocking(), and that routine is (in my case) calling shutdown() and awaitTermination() on a PeriodicCommitlogExecutorService. Therefore it is waiting on a thread called COMMIT-LOG-WRITER to terminate.
But that COMMIT-LOG-WRITER also has got an uncaughtException, and in response to that it is calling System.exit(). But that call cannot return since "Thread-174" is already holding a lock.

So the system is "hanging" on the System.exit due to a (multiple) OutOfMemory exception

Nice. 
Can you please raise a ticket at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA an include the version you were using. 

Cheers
