STORM-1128: Make metrics fast The metrics in my profiling are contributing significantly to the CPU utilization of storm, which slows it down. With this patch I was able to go from 6,500 sentences/second fully counted to 11,000 on a Mac Book Pro running two workers in the Throughput vs. Latency test. If I turn off sub-sampling of metrics the performance goes back to about where it was before. There is still more optimizations that could be done with the metrics, like having the latency metric also report counts, so we don't have to do an extra lookup and inc operation on the critical path, but for now this is good enough, and allows me to start looking at the next bottleneck. These changes also compliment the batching changes very well. The batching went from 6,500 sentences/second to 15,000 by itself. This patch increases it to 25,000 sentences/second. That is almost a 4x improvement by using both together.
