Hello Marton Greber, Alexey Serbin, Yingchun Lai, Kudu Jenkins, Wang Xixu, 

I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit

    http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/20716

to look at the new patch set (#14).

Change subject: [util] Add a warning into 'heap_sample_every_n_bytes' flag 
description.
......................................................................

[util] Add a warning into 'heap_sample_every_n_bytes' flag description.

Parameter --heap_sample_every_n_bytes is actually a parameter of
tcmalloc. Setting it to a positive value will make thread
cache request some sample allocations from page cache, which
will compete the lock of page heap with other threads. So does
the free operation of the sample.

A tserver with high throughput might lose so much performance
because of the lock contention of tcmalloc. Almost all the apply
threads are waiting for the spin lock.

So add a warning on --heap_sample_every_n_bytes in case that
some users do not know the terrible influence of this parameter.
