 * Motivated by the local health log.  For obvious reasons, cannot provide strong durability
 * guarantees, and cannot report whether the insert succeeded--in other words, this class provides
 * eventual "best effort" inserts.
 *
 * Because this class is motivated by the health log and errors cannot be cleanly reported to the
 * caller, it cannot report most errors to the client; it instead periodically logs any errors to
 * the system log.
 *
 * Instances of this class are unconditionally thread-safe, and cannot cause deadlock barring
 * improper use of the ctor, `flush` and `shutdown` methods below.
