Is it safe to Thread.sleep() in UpdateListener?

[Andrew Perepelytsya]

Hi,

I have a subj question. Is it ok to e.g. put a 20sec sleep in the update listener? I understand that other update listeners may get fired in the meantime, but assuming that I can stop the flow (and cut off the stream of events, so should be ok).

I'd suggest to read
