Getting it stressed as you described certainly makes sense.  However, given 
current run times of the test I would not put that test in here.  Probably, we 
can add such a test into the integration test bundle?  Or it's OK to add a test 
which runs additional 5 minutes in TSAN configuration?

As I see it, the purpose of this test is to make sure there aren't errors, 
deadlocks or missed/unflushed batchers while calling Flush/FlushAsync in 
AUTO_FLUSH_BACKGROUND mode.  From that perspective, exploring behavior of the 
client/server in all phases besides the very first one it is no different than 
calling Flush/AsyncFlush in any other regular session.  The only phase of 
interest in that context is when there is contention on detaching the current 
batcher by auto-flusher and the call of explicit flush.

What do you think?
