                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3836
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: master, regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.92.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon
             Fix For: 0.92.0


A lot of troubleshooting involves answering the question "well, what is your 
server doing right now?" Today, that involves some combination of interpreting 
jstack output and/or trudging through logs. Problems with these methods are: 
(a) users may not have direct ssh access to regionserver machines in production 
environments, (b) logs are very verbose, so hard to separate what's still going 
on vs stuff that might have completed, and (c) interpreting jstack requires a 
pretty good knowledge of the codebase plus diving into source code.

I'd like to add a singleton (for now) which takes care of tracking any major 
actions going on in the region server and master.
