IllegalStateException using java with webserver and netty front end/ curious about general issues here.

I went and downloaded 2.0 server and the related java client pieces to test out couchbase as, you may expect, an alternative to SQL. Install of server was easy but had a few questions on the client side. Most I have figured out and this one is not a disaster but I was curious about it. I am hitting couchbase using java client as part of a custom java webserver("Duphus"). The server has two listen ports offering a normal thread-per-page model and the netty front end on the alternative port. If I try to test code using a hit by normal front end it seems fine but here I get an exception using the netty call stack. I'll be the first to concede that blocking here may be a huge problem but curious about the relationship to couchebase. Sure, our entire server could hang on a couple of there pages blocking but what does couchbase care? Comments? Thanks

Use addListener() instead or call await*() from a different thread. java.lang.IllegalStateException: await*() in I/O thread causes a dead lock or sudden performance drop.
