Hi!
We found that sometimes our application hangs (either forever or for a very long time) when inserting data to WT DB.
Looks like the problem is in insufficient cache size since increasing it helps.
Moreover I can reliable reproduce the hang by setting small cache size (e.g. 16M when DB is ~ 31M).
Thread that does the insert has the following stack:
pthread_cond_timedwait __wt_cond_wait_signal __wt_cond_wait __wt_cache_eviction_worker __wt_cache_eviction_check __cursor_enter __curfile_enter __cursor_func_init __wt_btcur_insert __curfile_insert __curtable_insert <application frames>
After that application is unable to open cursors on the table:

I can see this behavior with WT2.8.0, WT2.6.1 and in current 'develop' branch.
Thanks!
