+<p>An instance of SourceSwitchingIterator, the Accumulo iterator which transparently
+manages whether data for a Tablet is in memory (the in-memory map) or disk (HDFS 
+after a minor compaction), was found deadlocked in a production system.</p>
+<p>This deadlock prevented the scan and the minor compaction from ever successfully
+completing without restarting the TabletServer. <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3745">ACCUMULO-3745</a>
+fixes the inconsistent synchronization inside of the SourceSwitchingIterator
+to prevent this deadlock from happening in the future.</p>
+<h3 id="table-flush-blocked-indefinitely">Table flush blocked indefinitely</h3>
+<p>While running the Accumulo Randomwalk distributed test, it was observed
+that all activity in Accumulo had stopped and there was an offline
+Accumulo metadata table tablet. The system first tried to flush a user
+tablet but the metadata table was not online (likely due to the agitation
+process which stops and starts Accumulo processes during the test). After
+this call, a call to load the metadata tablet was queued but could not 
+complete until the previous flush call. Thus, a deadlock occurred.</p>
+<p>This deadlock happened because the synchronous flush call could not complete
+before the load tablet call completed, but the load tablet call couldn't
+run because of connection caching we perform in Accumulo's RPC layer
+to reduce the quantity of sockets we need to create to send data. 
+<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3597">ACCUMULO-3597</a> prevents this dealock by forcing a
+non-cached connection for the message requesting loads of metadata tablets,
+we can ensure that this deadlock won't occur.</p>
