Review Comment:
   I'd simplify the check to
   if (alignmentContext == null &&
      conf.getBoolean(....)) {
     alignmentContext = new ClientGSIContext();
   }

> In order for clients to have routers forward their reads to observers, the 
> clients must use a proxy with an alignment context. This is currently 
> achieved by using the ObserverReadProxyProvider.
> Using ObserverReadProxyProvider allows backward compatible for client 
> configurations.
> However, the ObserverReadProxyProvider forces an msync on initialization 
> which is not required with routers.
> Performing msync calls is more expensive with routers because the router fans 
> out the cal to all namespaces, so we'd like to avoid this.
