> This was caused by a very tricky race-condition in the way python multiprocessing.thread works resulting in deadlock in ambari_agent.ActionQueue thread.
> The problem is the below flow:
> If this all these three get executed at the same time (a very rear occasion):
> 1. Process1 executes queue.get(False)
> 2. Process2 executes queue.put(largeObjectWhichTakesLongTimeToPut)
> 3. Someone kills Process2.
> This results in deadlock in process1 get. Which is caused by queue locks/semaphores to being released during put of process2.
> I have wrote a script test_race_condition.py to emulate this behaviour and indeed could reproduce this and test the fix for it.
