This PR makes py4j give more explicit names to the threads it creates (like
py4j-…
rather than the defaultThread-…
), which makes it easier to inspect JVM processes where py4j is running.It also marks those threads as daemon, so that exiting the main thread of the JVM, by reaching the end of the
main
method, actually makes the JVM exit (provided no other non-daemon threads were created by users).
