Open Stack

Josh,

Thanks for the input. GreenThreadPoolExecutor does not have the deadlock
issue, so that is promising (at least with futurist 1.6.0).

Does ThreadPoolExecutor have better performance than
GreenThreadPoolExecutor? Curious if we could just swap out
ThreadPoolExecutor for GreenThreadPoolExecutor.

Thanks,
Corey
