Interrupt

Just know that interrupt() call is just setting a flag, it have to be doing IO work (like database call), or in wait() status, before the thread can really be interrupted.

Another nice explanation about interrupt, in summary:

What should we do when we call code that may cause an InterruptedException? Don't immediately yank out the batteries! Typically there are two answers to that question:
1) Rethrow the InterruptedException from your method. This is usually the easiest and best approach. It is used by the new java.util.concurrent.* package [ http://java.sun.com[..]util/concurrent/Semaphore.html#acquire() ], which explains why we are now constantly coming into contact with this exception.
2) Catch it, set interrupted status, return. If you are running in a loop that calls code which may cause the exception, you should set the status back to being interrupted. For example:

while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
  // do something
  try {
    TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1000);
  } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
    break;
  }
}

Remember the Law of the Sabotaged Doorbell - don't just ignore interruptions, manage them properly!
