Allen Wang commented on KAFKA-6514: ----------------------------------- [~ijuma] Since we don't change the name of the metric, but just adding a tag, it shouldn't break existing monitoring system. So I am wondering why a KIP is still required in this case. For example, I found that when upgrading to Kafka 0.10, "records-consumed-rate" metric has an added tag "topic", which makes sense to me. I would prefer keeping the same metric name since people are already familiar with it and the name makes sense. It would also have minimal impact on the storage required on a typical metric aggregation system. > Add API version as a tag for the RequestsPerSec metric > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-6514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6514 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Allen Wang > Priority: Major > > After we upgrade broker to a new version, one important insight is to see how > many clients have been upgraded so that we can switch the message format when > most of the clients have also been updated to the new version to minimize the > performance penalty. > RequestsPerSec with the version tag will give us that insight. > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
