    >> Now one thread can be in processMessage while another thread is getting 
stats about the connection. 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 :)
    
    This should be OK since all fields printed by `synchronized void 
dumpConnectionInfo(PrintWriter pwriter, boolean brief)` are only updated in 
`synchronized` methods.
    
    Another option would be to put a shared lock on the command's execution 
(shared with any other 4LW that acquires a lock on a connection other than its 
own, I THINK `cons` is the only other one)? I think this may impact 4LW 
performance slightly but it would prevent the need to add another lock to 
`NettyServerCnxn`. 
    
    I think I like your way better.
