> The problem with the ThreadGroup.activeCount() method is that the method is 
> only a very rough estimate, and in reality returns the total number of 
> threads in the thread group as opposed to the threads actually running.
> In some DNs, we saw this to return 50~ for a long time, even though the 
> actual number of DataXceiver threads was next to none.
> This is a big issue as we use the xceiverCount to make decisions on the NN 
> for choosing replication source DN or returning DNs to clients for R/W.
> The plan is to reuse the DataNodeMetrics.dataNodeActiveXceiversCount value 
> which only accounts for actual number of DataXcevier threads currently 
> running and thus represents the load on the DN much better.
