Requests hang for 30+ seconds with no errors in the logs. How do you find the blocked operation?
Tests whether you'd pull a thread dump while the hang is happening to see exactly what each thread is blocked on (a lock, an I/O call, a connection pool wait) -- logs show what happened, a thread dump shows what's happening right now, which is what a hang needs.
