026 * A null context which has a thread calling 
027 * periodically when monitoring is started. This keeps the data sampled 
028 * correctly.
029 * In all other respects, this is like the NULL context: No data is emitted.
030 * This is suitable for Monitoring systems like JMX which reads the metrics
031 *  when someone reads the data from JMX.
032 * 
033 * The default impl of start and stop monitoring:
034 *  is the AbstractMetricsContext is good enough.
