             Summary: Tests which delete singleton metrics break subsequent 
metrics tests
                 Key: KAFKA-5244
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5244
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: Rajini Sivaram
            Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
             Fix For: 0.11.0.0


Static metrics like {{BrokerTopicStats.ReplicationBytesInPerSec}} are created 
in a singleton, resulting in one metric being created in a JVM. Some tests like 
{{MetricsDuringTopicCreationDeletionTest}} delete all metrics from the static 
metrics registry. The singleton metrics don't get recreated and subsequent 
tests relying on these metrics may fail.

Singleton metrics make testing hard - we have no idea what metrics are being 
tested. Not sure we want to change that though since there is a lot of code 
that relies on this. But we have to fix tests to ensure that metrics are left 
in a good state.
