I've been thinking about this some more -- resource management in the 
tabletservers is definitely a concern, even if deadlock isn't (I still 
haven't convinced myself one way or another).

Difficulty will definitely arise in trying to make sure you don't leak 
BatchWriters (and the thread it spawns inside which sends mutationst o 
the appropriate tserver). Not impossible, but definitely tricky :)
