Hey Chittaranjan,
Yeah I think at a high level our goal is that classes are either threadsafe
or not and if threadsafe their safety doesn't depend on the details of
their current usage(s) since that often changes. In other words the
synchronization should be encapsulated in the class. So that's th
Thanks for your comments Jay.

requirement then one can see that many methods are NOT thread safe while

1. a. I think startup is a public method on KafkaServer so for people
embedding Kafka in some way this helps guarantee correctness.
b. I think KafkaScheduler tries to be a bit too clever, there is a patch
out there that just moves to global synchronization for the whole class
which is easier to rea
