N/A

Extended Events wait_type value:

The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 836 in 2012 and 855 in 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.

I have not seen this wait type be a noticeable contention point.

This wait type is one that I usually filter out as a benign wait when doing wait statistics analysis.
