+### MultiTableBatchWriter concurrency
+
+The MultiTableBatchWriter is a class which allows multiple tables to be
written to
+from a single object that maintains a single buffer for caching Mutations
across all tables. This is desirable
+as it greatly simplifies the JVM heap usage from caching Mutations across
+many tables. Sadly, in Apache Accumulo 1.5.0, concurrent access to a single
MultiTableBatchWriter
+heavily suffered from synchronization issues. [ACCUMULO-1833][35] introduces a
fix
+which alleviates the blocking and idle-wait that previously occurred when
multiple threads accessed
+a single MultiTableBatchWriter instance concurrently.
