A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This is a duplicate of https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8200347#

Not clear why this was closed. As the test case works eventually. We have hit the issue in production.

More details can be found at the original bug.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached test case on Java 8 u 162 or 172. It will eventually hang.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
CompletableFuture joins eventually
ACTUAL -
CompletableFuture never joins

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Doing timed gets in a loop worked for us.

FREQUENCY : rarely
