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?

> 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.
