bq. I'm not sure on the best way to get the information out... logging (trace 
leve?) might be too verbose but I don't see many more ways.

IMO logging latency number at trace level (for each op?) doesn't work too well 
-- based on my experience trying to measure NameNode RPC latency.

For most part I am interested in the distribution of latency number. For 
example, 50%-tile,90%-tile,99%-tile, of OP_DELETE, over some period of time, 
say the past 30 seconds, 5 minutes.

We already have something similar at RPC server level (via config key 
dfs.metrics.percentiles.intervals), just that we don't have that in the client 
side.

> The usage of HDFS has changed from being used as a map-reduce filesystem, now 
> it's becoming more of like a general purpose filesystem. In most of the cases 
> there are issues with the Namenode so we have metrics to know the workload or 
> stress on Namenode.
> However, there is a need to have more statistics collected for different 
> operations/RPCs in DFSClient to know which RPC operations are taking longer 
> time or to know what is the frequency of the operation.These statistics can 
> be exposed to the users of DFS Client and they can periodically log or do 
> some sort of flow control if the response is slow. This will also help to 
> isolate HDFS issue in a mixed environment where on a node say we have Spark, 
> HBase and Impala running together. We can check the throughput of different 
> operation across client and isolate the problem caused because of noisy 
> neighbor or network congestion or shared JVM.
> We have dealt with several problems from the field for which there is no 
> conclusive evidence as to what caused the problem. If we had metrics or stats 
> in DFSClient we would be better equipped to solve such complex problems.
