Otis Gospodnetic commented on HBASE-4147:
-----------------------------------------
+1 for Todd's tracing idea (is this already in a separate JIRA issue that I
can't find?)
+1 for what Gary said about using existing mechanisms for publishing metrics,
so that those of us who already have tools to gather and aggregate data from
there can just keep using those tools instead of developing new things that
scrape metrics from additional places.

> Detailed information on what HBase is doing in terms of reads is hard to come
> by.
> What would be useful is to have a periodic StoreFile query report.
> Specifically, this could run on a configured interval (e.g., every 30
> seconds, 60 seconds) and dump the output to the log files.
> This would have all StoreFiles accessed during the reporting period (and with
> the Path we would also know region, CF, and table), # of times the StoreFile
> was accessed, the size of the StoreFile, and the total time (ms) spent
> processing that StoreFile.
> Even this level of summary would be useful to detect a which tables & CFs are
> being accessed the most, and including the StoreFile would provide insight
> into relative "uncompaction" (i.e., lots of StoreFiles).
> I think the log-output, as opposed to UI, is an important facet with this.
> I'm assuming that users will slice and dice this data on their own so I think
> we should skip any kind of admin view for now (i.e., new JSPs, new APIs to
> expose this data). Just getting this to log-file would be a big improvement.
> Will this have a non-zero performance impact? Yes. Hopefully small, but yes
> it will. However, flying a plane without any instrumentation isn't fun. :-)
