Appy commented on HBASE-17888:
------------------------------

I was gonna +1 it earlier and see how next changes iterated on design, but that 
was before our discussion on {{updateMetricsOnStart}} got going.
That made me take a step back and think about overall design. I posted the 
suggestion in RB yesterday (copying here). I think the idea ties metrics system 
to proc executor quite neatly. Let me know your thoughts.
--------------

....
Thinking about rough design for 'metrics in proc framework', here are the main 
ideas which click me:

* There should be clearly defined (and well documented) points where metrics 
are updated. Ideally, these points should be either single line in code and/or 
well defined state (great if both).
Currently it's not well defined state, and requires hooks from multiple code 
paths.
With current approach, I am afraid that it might 'evolve' like other 
components, and those not much familier with this code may add more 
updateMetricsOnFoo() methods from random points in exectuor.

* One possible design is: Initiate all metric updates from setState() function. 
That ties metrics design to a single well defined point in ProcExecutor. Also, 
that way we can have:
1. updateMetricsOn<State>() functions: to update metrics on well defined states 
2. update metrics on few interesting transitions. For eg.
 -updateMetricsOnSubmit(): when state changes from INITIALIZING to RUNNABLE.
 -updateMetricsOnFinish(): when state changes to SUCCESS or FINISH.

- There should be two sets of metrics: core metrics and feature metrics.
Core metrics will include things like proc wait time, proc execute time, number 
of yeilds, num subprocedures, etc
Feature metrics : Metrics like RIT metrics, snapshot metrics, etc.
Just to make sure, we are only designing for 'core metrics' and not 'feature 
metrics' here right? Am confused since there are description changes for 
'feature metrics' in this patch.
If we are designing for core metrics, it would be good to see actual metrics in 
next patch. That would help to see if particular updateMetricsOn*() hook makes 
sense.

> For all procedures in Procv2 framework, Procedure class can have generic 
> methods to update metrics on start and end of a procedure execution. Specific 
> procedure can override these and implement/ update respective metrics. 
> Default implementation needs to be provided so override and implementation is 
> optional.
