I'm okay with canceling the current 0.9.6 release vote and cutting a new
release candidate if there is enough community support. I'll raise the question
on the 0.9.6 release thread.

> Nathan had fixed the dining philosopher problem by putting a overflow buffer
> in the spout so that spout is not blocking. However, overflow buffer is not
> used when emitting the metric, and that could result in the deadlock. I
> modified the executor to use overflow buffer for emitting metrics and
> afterwards topology didn't hang.
