Yuki Morishita commented on CASSANDRA-7273:
-------------------------------------------

First of all, thanks Chris for taking a look at this one.
I'm not a fan of aggregating all CF metrics to global level (as I pointed out 
in CASSANDRA-6539).
Aggregated histograms can be misleading, we already have node-level latency 
metrics, etc.
I think the way to do here is just sum Keyspace metrics.

* tried to automate some of the releasing of metrics since seems error prone 
(WaitingOnFreeMemtableSpace was missing).
* renamed MemtableHeapSize since there were 2 metrics with that name
{quote}

Thanks for pointing these out. I noticed there are some release/naming problem 
in CF metrics.
I will fix these in separate commit.

> 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.)
