Is that ok? I believe this is OK. We can receive two concurrent `stat` commands, but we only process one of them at a time. I'm also not a Netty wizard, so I could be wildly wrong :) > Basically I am wondering if there is any other code out there that should now sync on what getRpcLock() returns. That's a good point. I had looked to see that there were multiple other methods in `ServerCnxn` which were also synchronized (thus, changing `dumpConnectionInfo(..)` wouldn't have been sufficient). I didn't look to see if there's another code-path which is also synchronizing on the `NettyServerCnxn` (or `ServerCnxn`).
