Replacing thread notification-based queue with 
java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue in HMaster
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1615
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1615
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/hbase
    Affects Versions: 0.13.0
            Reporter: Steve Jenson
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 0.13.0


In HMaster, there is a msgQueue typed as an ArrayList<PendingOperations>. 
PendingOperations are added to the queue and notify() is called on msgQueue. I 
think using a BlockingQueue<PendingOperations> makes the intent of the code 
more clear and removes potentially problematic synchronization issues. 
BlockingQueues are thread-safe and allow multiple producers and consumers. I 
have written a patch for this and will attach it.
