Chris Riccomini commented on SAMZA-503:
---------------------------------------
One nit re-the patch: I found it a bit confusing to call the variable
"topicAndPartition". It's actually the TopicAndPartition -> offset. Changing to:
{code}
case(topicAndPartition, offset) =>
{code}
Would make things a bit clearer.
> Lag gauge very slow to update for slow jobs

> Key: SAMZA-503

> Project: Samza
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: metrics
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Environment: Mac OS X, Oracle Java 7, ProcessJobFactory
> Reporter: Roger Hoover
> Assignee: Yan Fang
> Fix For: 0.9.0

> For slow jobs, the
> KafkaSystemConsumerMetrics.%s-%s-messages-behind-high-watermark) gauge does
> not get updated very often.
> To reproduce:
> * Create a job that processes one message and sleeps for 5 seconds
> * Create it's input topic but do not populate it yet
> * Start the job
> * Load 1000s of messages to it's input topic. You can keep adding messages
> with a "wait -n 1 <kafka console producer command>"
> What happens:
> * Run jconsole to view the JMX metrics
> * The %s-%s-messages-behind-high-watermark gauge will stay at 0 for a LONG
> time (~10 minutes?) before finally updating.
> What should happen:
> * The gauge should get updated at a reasonable interval (a least every few
> seconds)
> I think what's happening is that the BrokerProxy only updates the high
> watermark when a consumer is ready for more messages. When the job is so
> slow, this rarely happens to the metric doesn't get updated.
