Totally right about 2) I've fixed that and will put the patch for that up now

As far as 1) resizing the queue is pretty awkward. Anything we resize up for 
rollback would have to be resized back down at some time. If we want to 
guarantee that rollbacks succeed, I think it would be better just to reserve 
space in the main queue for the contents of every threads take queue, by 
maintaining  queue.remainingCapacity() >= sumallthreads(takeList.size()) 
perhaps this should be a separate issue?

bq.  Summary
bq.  -------
bq.  
bq.  This is an initial go at fixing the threading issues with memory channel. 
bq.  
bq.  It uses the preliminary work on FLUME-935 and I have included the code 
from that.
bq.  
bq.  The tagging of the events became unnecessary so I dropped that. One thing 
that concerns me slightly is how to deal with not having enough space in the 
queue to rollback failed takes. One method would be to keep a minimum buffer of 
transactionCapacity. Another would be to implement the queue of queues as 
suggested in FLUME-889
bq.  
bq.  Anyway, just putting up this early version to see what people think
bq.

bq.  This addresses bug FLUME-936.

bq.  Testing
bq.  -------
bq.  
bq.  The original tests pass, though I had to take out the state checks because 
of the changes to semantics from the flume-935 code. I also had to add a 
transaction.close statement where semantics were not properly being followed
bq.  I have to retrofit my new concurrency test since without the tagged events 
it cannot fail without checking that the content is correct. I'll put that up 
asap, just wanted to get some eyes on this before I head out.
