stack commented on HBASE-5802:
------------------------------

So, enable jmx emissions?  Would suggest that your patch include comment 
explaining what the exotic-sounding NullContextWithUpdateThread does.  Maybe 
copy the class comment into your patch somewhere:

{code}
 * A null context which has a thread calling
 * periodically when monitoring is started. This keeps the data sampled
 * correctly.
 * In all other respects, this is like the NULL context: No data is emitted.
 * This is suitable for Monitoring systems like JMX which reads the metrics
 *  when someone reads the data from JMX.
 *
 * The default impl of start and stop monitoring:
 *  is the AbstractMetricsContext is good enough.
{code}

Maybe update the reference guide too especially if you are changing default.

Good stuff E.
