FSWatchUtil should assign a good name to the threads it starts

[Sanne]

Description

Apparently FSWatchUtil starts an Executor, but the threads this is spawning have name patterns like pool-406-thread-1.

It would be highly preferreable for all of our components to specify a good name for threads which are being started, to help with diagnostics.

@Sanne can i work on this issue, i see that the method observe with in the FSWatchUtil class, is instantiating a single thread executor, so one worker thread of thread pool size -1 , will be started.

what is the expectation regarding the naming conventions of the pool thread

[Sanne]

thanks for offering help @SivaTharun !

Yes that's observe method is likely what needs to be patched. In terms of naming I would suggest a pattern like FSWatchUtil-thread-1
