Fair enough.

Custom ThreadFactory sounds a bit scary. So it won't be using executors 
framework in that case?

To me personally it would be enough to have some setter somewhere 
(ConnectionFactory most likely) to allow setting 
ScheduledExecutorService which will be used for heartbeats but I am not 
sure hot it fits the design.

Will take a look at changes for GAE when they are out if we still have 
that problem by then.

Thanks, Michael.
