   I believe the trouble here is that it mixes all log levels on stderr, while 
the log reporting in the UI reports all stderr lines at the same severity. I 
cannot recall if they are all INFO or all WARN in the UI, but either way it is 
incorrect and confusing. So we need the corresponding change to make sure that 
doesn't happen. Just drive by comment because I've encountered this.

> When an exception is encountered in DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler the 
> ErrorManager is used to log the exception.  ErrorManager uses System.err 
> which is overridden to be a PrintStream that writes back into 
> DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler.
> This has the lock ordering DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler -> PrintStream.
> Other logging of System.err has the inverse lock ordering 
> PrintStream->DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler so there is potential for deadlock.
> This is one known cause of the inversion, but any other System.err logs from 
> inside DataflowWorkerLoggingHandler could cause the same issue.
> Proposed fix is to address low-hanging fruit of having ErrorManager output to 
> the original System.err.  A full fix would be to improve our override of 
> System.err to a PrintStream that can detect the locking inversion or possibly 
> we could use the PrintStream mutex in both cases.
