remove busy-wait so that swift client won't use up all CPU cycles

The current implementation uses busy-wait and checking flags to
communicate between threads. It wastes a lot of CPU powers. With
python 2.6 is required for Swift, the communication between
threads should now be using queue and signal mechanisms. This
patch removed the busy-wait loops and use queue and queue join
for threads coordination which will not consume CPU cycles if
a thread is blocked.
