Jeff Wartes commented on SOLR-4735:
-----------------------------------

That seems pretty viable too. As I mentioned, the memory overhead of a registry 
is pretty low, just a concurrent map and a list. Plus, the actual metric 
objects in the map would be shared by both registries, so I'd be more concerned 
about the work involved keeping them synchronized then with just having 
multiple registries.

I confess though, I don't have a clear idea whether that's more or less 
overhead than multiple identically-configured reporters. It feels like most of 
the possible performance issues here are linear, so it may not matter. Two 
reporters iterating through 10 metrics each sounds pretty much the same as one 
reporter iterating over 20 to me, all else being equal.

> Following on from a discussion on the mailing list:
> http://search-lucene.com/m/IO0EI1qdyJF1/codahale&subj=Solr+metrics+in+Codahale+metrics+and+Graphite+
> It would be good to make Solr play more nicely with existing devops 
> monitoring systems, such as Graphite or Ganglia.  Stats monitoring at the 
> moment is poll-only, either via JMX or through the admin stats page.  I'd 
> like to refactor things a bit to make this more pluggable.
> This patch is a start.  It adds a new interface, InstrumentedBean, which 
> extends SolrInfoMBean to return a 
> [[Metrics|http://metrics.codahale.com/manual/core/]] MetricRegistry, and a 
> couple of MetricReporters (which basically just duplicate the JMX and admin 
> page reporting that's there at the moment, but which should be more 
> extensible).  The patch includes a change to RequestHandlerBase showing how 
> this could work.  The idea would be to eventually replace the getStatistics() 
> call on SolrInfoMBean with this instead.
> The next step would be to allow more MetricReporters to be defined in 
> solrconfig.xml.  The Metrics library comes with ganglia and graphite 
> reporting modules, and we can add contrib plugins for both of those.
> There's some more general cleanup that could be done around SolrInfoMBean 
> (we've got two plugin handlers at /mbeans and /plugins that basically do the 
> same thing, and the beans themselves have some weirdly inconsistent data on 
> them - getVersion() returns different things for different impls, and 
> getSource() seems pretty useless), but maybe that's for another issue.
