             Summary: Get rid of the "DeploymentScanner Threads" pool
                 Key: WFCORE-2793
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2793
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Deployment Scanner, Domain Management
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry


The deployment scanner can use the kernel scheduled executor. I'm a bit reluctant in general to allow use of this pool by subsystems as scheduled executors have a fixed size pool, so arbitrary usage by subsystems can result in tying up all the threads doing long running tasks and undesirable behavior. But deployment-scanner is "kernel-ish enough" that I think it's ok.

This will remove 2 threads.

The server scheduled executor has 4 threads which is actually pretty high given the very limited usage of it. So I'll consider narrowing it down.

The big problem with using the server scheduled executor is tying up its threads long running tasks, which the scanner does do. What i'll probably do is just use the scheduled executor to trigger a task which then submits a task on the main ServerService thread pool (which is unlimited in size.) 

Perhaps I'll abstract this kind of usage pattern into a service, and make that service a generally available kernel capability.
