Motivation

// Define the problem to be solved.

Cache and Compute async operations invoke the future listeners on Ignite thread pools, such as Public pool and Striped pool:

IgniteFuture fut = cache.putAsync(1, 1);
fut.listen(f -> {
    // Executes on Striped pool and causes a deadlock
    cache.replace(1, 2);
});

Users are supposed to be aware of this and handle it manually, however:

• This behavior is unexpected
• Users should carefully read the docs to know about this
• Handling this manually is verbose and error-prone

The problem is more pronounced in Ignite.NET:

• async/await exists for a long time and most code bases are async
• async/await sugar somewhat makes this less obvious
• custom thread pools are less common
