             Summary: expose global ColumnFamily metrics
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7273
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7273
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Richard Wagner
            Priority: Minor


It would be very useful to have cassandra expose ColumnFamily metrics that span 
all column families. A general purpose cassandra monitoring system built up 
around the current ColumnFamily metrics really only has a couple of choices 
right now: publish metrics for all column families or fetch metrics for all 
column families, aggregate them and then publish the aggregated metrics. The 
first can be quite expensive for the downstream monitoring system and the 
second is a piece of work that it seems is better pushed into cassandra itself.

Perhaps these global ColumnFamily metrics could be published under a name of:

org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=(ColumnFamily|IndexColumnFamily),name=(Metric 
name)

(Same as existing ColumnFamily metrics, but with no keyspace or scope.)
