Hello.

As some of you might know we have the license for great concurrency analysis
software from SureLogic.

SureLogic engineers gave some run for HDFS, MR, and Zookeeper code at the end
of last year. The tools seem very promising and supposedly bring us the
value (linked from the page below).

Please read this Wiki page to get more information about the tool and to
get some understanding how it works
  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToUseConcurrencyAnalysisTools

Here's the additional information on how to install/upgrade to the latest
release: http://surelogic.com/static/eclipse/install.html

There's also a couple of JIRAs w/ patches (HDFS-801, MAPREDUCE-1259) to
integrate annotations into our current source code base. The annotations are
represented as a jar file with some interface classes. They are redistributed
under Apache license. The retention policy of annotations are 'compile time',
i.e. this jar isn't required for the runtime of Hadoop.

It'd be great to hear community thoughts on this so we can make some decision 
about this toolset.

Please comment. Thanks
  Cos
