Chris Lohfink commented on CASSANDRA-14572:
-------------------------------------------
so just nit picking thing, should we put these under a system_metrics virtual
keyspace instead of having all these in system_views? Originally idea was to
have some tables that are more like nodetool - providing a curated view of the
data vs the raw dumps of internals. These metrics would be super helpful for
setting up alerting, metric systems, and for knowledgeable operators but for
people new to the system seeing the extra 30 tables may be hard to parse and
understand.
Would also remove need to have the metrics_ prefix

> While we want a number of virtual tables to display data in a way thats great
> and intuitive like in nodetool. There is also much for being able to expose
> the metrics we have for tooling via CQL instead of JMX. This is more for the
> tooling and adhoc advanced users who know exactly what they are looking for.
> *Schema:*
> Initial idea is to expose data via {{((keyspace, table), metric)}} with a
> column for each metric value. Could also use a Map or UDT instead of the
> column based that can be a bit more specific to each metric type. To that end
> there can be a {{metric_type}} column and then a UDT for each metric type
> filled in, or a single value with more of a Map<Text, Text> style. I am
> purposing the column type though as with {{ALLOW FILTERING}} it does allow
> more extensive query capabilities.
> *Implementations:*
> * Use reflection to grab all the metrics from TableMetrics (see:
> CASSANDRA-7622 impl). This is easiest and least abrasive towards new metric
> implementors... but its reflection and a kinda a bad idea.
> * Add a hook in TableMetrics to register with this virtual table when
> registering
> * Pull from the CassandraMetrics registery (either reporter or iterate
> through metrics query on read of virtual table)
