> Since YARN-3039, we add loop in TimelineClient to wait for collectorServiceAddress ready before posting any entity. In consumer of  TimelineClient (like AM), we are starting a new thread for each call to get rid of potential deadlock in main thread. This way has at least 3 major defects:
> 1. The consumer need some additional code to wrap a thread before calling putEntities() in TimelineClient.
> 2. It cost many thread resources which is unnecessary.
> 3. The sequence of events could be out of order because each posting operation thread get out of waiting loop randomly.
> We should have something like event loop in TimelineClient side, putEntities() only put related entities into a queue of entities and a separated thread handle to deliver entities in queue to collector via REST call.
