-------------------------------------
Can we put that RN text into a ref guide section and then link to that in the
RN? that'll make it easier for folks to find when they're reading about
subsequently released versions.

> HIVE-20202 describes how Hive added a web endpoint for online in production
> profiling based on async-profiler. The endpoint was added as a servlet to
> httpserver and supports retrieval of flamegraphs compiled from the profiler
> trace. Async profiler
> ([https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler] ) can also profile
> heap allocations, lock contention, and HW performance counters in addition to
> CPU.
> The profiling overhead is pretty low and is safe to run in production. The
> async-profiler project measured and describes CPU and memory overheads on
> these issues:
> [https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler/issues/14] and
> [https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler/issues/131]
> We have an httpserver based servlet stack so we can use HIVE-20202 as an
> implementation template for a similar feature for HBase daemons. Ideally we
> achieve these requirements:
> * Retrieve flamegraph SVG generated from latest profile trace.
> * Online enable and disable of profiling activity. (async-profiler does not
> do instrumentation based profiling so this should not cause the code gen
> related perf problems of that other approach and can be safely toggled on and
> off while under production load.)
> * CPU profiling.
> * ALLOCATION profiling.
