--------------------------------------
I ran a simple program which just calls DefaultMetricsSystem.initialize against
Hadoop 2.8.2 compared to 3.0.0 dist tarballs:

Not all of the regression is due to the metrics system initialization, but with
a small patch that avoids the "builder" APIs, I can recover some of the
regression.

It also loads fewer classes (1651 vs 1768) by eliminating usage of 'beanutil'
and a bunch of ancillary classes in commons-configuration.
> Upgrade to commons-configuration 2.1 regresses task CPU consumption

> Key: HADOOP-15549
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15549
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: metrics
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Major
>
> HADOOP-13660 upgraded from commons-configuration 1.x to 2.x.
> commons-configuration is used when parsing the metrics configuration
> properties file. The new builder API used in the new version apparently makes
> use of a bunch of very bloated reflection and classloading nonsense to
> achieve the same goal, and this results in a regression of >100ms of CPU time
> as measured by a program which simply initializes DefaultMetricsSystem.
> This isn't a big deal for long-running daemons, but for MR tasks which might
> only run a few seconds on poorly-tuned jobs, this can be noticeable.
