The JDK issue ticket linked towards the bottom of the post has some interesting discussions. Apparently Developers at RedHat ran into a similar problem and decided to build an 'agent' to help developers identify code patterns triggering the issue.

Slightly different approach to the Netflix post, but still an interesting line of effort to find problematic Java code!

For anyone interested: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8180450?focusedCommentId...
