Lars George commented on HBASE-2888: ------------------------------------ I think what 3. is for is what we once had as the Historian. Is there a plan to bring that back and even extend on it? I agree with Alex though and agreed to help to add this as necessary and reasonable. We need for users to be able to easily see the status of a server/table/region etc. since digging in logs is black art and with changing versions and therefore changing log statements even simple grep scripts may fail on newer versions. If we had a simple history per table or region of what happened when (like last compaction, what type was it, how was it triggered? Same for last flush and splits) I am sure it would help a lot of users. Maybe a simple event based WAL that is written per RS and that can be displayed nicely in the UI and maybe even being to clear it should help a lot. Maybe keep the last N records/events as per a config key? > Review all our metrics > ---------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2888 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2888 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: master > Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > > HBase publishes a bunch of metrics, some useful some wasteful, that should be > improved to deliver a better ops experience. Examples: > - Block cache hit ratio converges at some point and stops moving > - fsReadLatency goes down when compactions are running > - storefileIndexSizeMB is the exact same number once a system is serving > production load > We could use new metrics too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
