Good idea, we need better tools (echo systems) to manage/monitor Geode resources. In Geode many times the work is handed to other low-level threads (messaging) or new threads/runnables; it will be nice to have some mechanism to associate main work-thread to low level thread; that will give better indication on who is waiting on whom.
