Description

Other hadoop ecosystem projects (mainly Java) offer a /stacks web page which is equivalent to pstacking the process. We should offer the same in Kudu - it can be useful for remotely understanding what's going on on a server which is performing strangely, when root access to the machine may not be available and tools like 'pstack' may not be installed.
