Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2203 I also want to make sure that we take the performance impact of this patch into consideration. With the old metrics system we are sub-sampling the metrics for performance reasons. With this patch we are not. When I run ThroughputVsLatency, not perfect I know. With this patch the maximum throughput I am able to get is about 48,000 sentences per second. Without this patch I can do about 60,000 reliably. This is a 20% drop in maximum throughput. Note that all I did was adjust the target throughput and set max spout pending to 500.
