Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-22978:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Today when an individual RPC exceeds a configurable time bound we log a 
complaint by way of the logging subsystem. These log lines look like:

{noformat}
2019-08-30 22:10:36,195 WARN [,queue=15,port=60020] ipc.RpcServer - 
(responseTooSlow):

"starttimems":1567203007549,

"param":"region { type: REGION_NAME value: 
\"tsdb,\\000\\000\\215\\f)o\\\\\\024\\302\\220\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\001\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\006\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\005\\000\\000<TRUNCATED>",

{noformat}

Unfortunately we often truncate the request parameters, like in the above 
example. We do this because the human readable representation is verbose, the 
rate of too slow warnings may be high, and the combination of these things can 
overwhelm the log capture system. The truncation is unfortunate because it 
eliminates much of the utility of the warnings. For example, the region name, 
the start and end keys, and the filter hierarchy are all important clues for 
debugging performance problems caused by moderate to low selectivity queries or 
queries made at a high rate.

We can maintain an in-memory ring buffer of requests that were judged to be too 
slow in addition to the responseTooSlow logging. The in-memory representation 
can be complete and compressed. A new admin API and shell command can provide 
access to the ring buffer for online performance debugging. A modest sizing of 
the ring buffer will prevent excessive memory utilization for a minor 
performance debugging feature by limiting the total number of retained records. 
There is some chance a high rate of requests will cause information on other 
interesting requests to be overwritten before it can be read. This is the 
nature of a ring buffer and an acceptable trade off.

The write request types do not require us to retain all information submitted 
in the request. We don't need to retain all key-values in the mutation, which 
may be too large to comfortably retain. We only need a unique set of row keys, 
or even a min/max range, and total counts.

The consumers of this information will be debugging tools. We can afford to 
apply fast compression to ring buffer entries (if codec support is available), 
something like snappy or zstandard, and decompress on the fly when servicing 
the retrieval API request. This will minimize the impact of retaining more 
information about slow requests than we do today.

This proposal is for retention of request information only, the same 
information provided by responseTooSlow warnings. Total size of response 
serialization, possibly also total cell or row counts, should be sufficient to 
characterize the response.

Optionally persist new entries added to the ring buffer into one or more files 
in HDFS in a write-behind manner. If the HDFS writer blocks or falls behind and 
we are unable to persist an entry before it is overwritten, that is fine. 
Response too slow logging is best effort. If we can detect this make a note of 
it in the log file.

New shell commands:

{{get_slow_responses [ <server1> ... , <serverN> ] [ , \{ <filter-attributes> } 
]}}

Retrieve, decode, and pretty print the contents of the too slow response ring 
buffer maintained by the given list of servers; or all servers in the cluster 
if no list is provided. Optionally provide a map of parameters for filtering as 
additional argument. The TABLE filter, which expects a string containing a 
table name, will include only entries pertaining to that table. The REGION 
filter, which expects a string containing an encoded region name, will include 
only entries pertaining to that region. The CLIENT_IP filter, which expects a 
string containing an IP address, will include only entries pertaining to that 
client. The USER filter, which expects a string containing a user name, will 
include only entries pertaining to that user. A server name is its host, port, 
and start code, e.g. "host187.example.com,60020,1289493121758".

{{clear_slow_responses [ <server1> ... , <serverN> ]}}

Clear the too slow response ring buffer maintained by the given list of 
servers; or all servers on the cluster if no argument is provided. A server 
name is its host, port, and start code, e.g. 
"host187.example.com,60020,1289493121758".
