        Description

        The method com.mongodb.Mongo.close() sets a signal that eventually tells the internal DBCleaner thread to close; which it correctly does. However, since the DBCleaner thread often sleeps, and cleaning up cursors could take a while, the thread will frequently not finish execution until after the close method returns. When this happens in apache tomcat, the following error is seen in tomcat's log files:

        SEVERE: The web application [/someWebApp] appears to have started a thread named [MongoCleaner892931837] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.

          I've committed a unit test and potential fix to github: https://github.com/seanjreilly/mongo-java-driver/commit/4d51cc32f6815c666c44ba6680f551b50da0f6cc

          With this patch, tomcat no longer emits an error message during web application shutdown.
