> ConsumerNetworkClient.send() should not require global lock

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Dong Lin
> Assignee: Dong Lin
>
> Currently `ConsumerNetworkClient.send()` needs to acquire global lock of
> `ConumserNetworkClient` in order to enqueue requests. If another thread has
> called `ConsumerNetworkClient.poll(..)`, that thread may be holding the lock
> while blocked on `nioSelector.select(ms)`. This causes problem because the
> user thread which calls `ConsumerNetworkClient.send()` will also block
> waiting for that `nioSelector.select(ms)` to finish.
> One way to address this problem is to use `synchronized (unsent)` to protect
> access to `ConsumeNetworkClient.unsent` instead of protecting it using a
> global lock. So that user thread should be able to enqueue requests
> immediately while another thread is blocked on `nioSelector.select(ms)`.
