Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6728:
------------------------------------------

>Why not web service REST api?

Because custom, proprietary interfaces are evil and are a calling card of NIH?

I'd rather change the things we are looking at by changing a few parameters in 
our JMX clients than deal with Yet Another REST  Interface.  Screw backward 
compatibility if it means sticking with something standard.

> Per discussions with Arun, Chris, Hong and Rajiv, et al, we concluded that 
> the current metrics framework needs an overhaul to:
> * Allow multiple plugins for different monitoring systems simultaneously (see 
> also: HADOOP-6508).
> * Refresh metrics plugin config without server restart.
> ** Including filtering of metrics per plugin.
> * Support metrics schema for plugins.
> The jira will be resolved when core hadoop components (hdfs, mapreduce) are 
> updated to use the new framework . Updates to external components that use 
> the existing metrics framework will be tracked by different issues.
