> Kudu uses a [watchdog
> thread|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/src/kudu/util/kernel_stack_watchdog.h]
> to log warning about threads that seem stuck.
> {quote}
> Before performing some operation which may stall (eg IO) or which we expect
> should be short (e.g. a callback on a critical thread that should not block),
> threads may mark themselves as "watched", with a threshold beyond which they
> would like warnings to be emitted including their stack trace at that time.
> {quote}
> We already pulled kudu/util into our codebase and it seems after starting a
> watchdog thread we should be able to use this, too.
