Java thread dump: BLOCKED thread without “waiting to lock …”

Apparently the situation where we observed these kinds of blocked threads were related to heavy memory consumption and therefore massive garbage collection.

This question Java blocking issue: Why would JVM block threads in many different classes/methods? describes a similar situation, so I believe these threads were simply blocked by the garbage collector.

(Anyway, after solving the memory issue this problem with the blocking threads was gone.)
