Review comment:
       Maybe I mis-understand what do you mean. Can you draw the code a little 
bit more specific? 
   
   from the above pseduo code
   
   ```
   _monitor = new ZkClientMonitor();
   // Comment that we need to update the _monitor in the event lock to avoid 
missing any records about event thread.
   connect(connectTimeout, this, _monitor);
   _monitor.register()
   ```
   
   Assertion: construction of ZkMonitor and ZkThreadMonitor and their 
registration must be done before the first doAsyncSync() is sent out, or you 
have race condition of missing some read/write.
   
   In the above pseudo code, `_monitor.register()` is too late, the first 
sycn() is already out and it may complete earlier than this register().  This 
violate the above assertion. You may miss one increase of read counter.
   
   I may not fully understand your idea. Let us be more specific. As long as it 
works, I can change it to that way.
