> Currently metrics in kafka are using old-school JMX directly. This makes
> adding metrics a pain. It would be good to do one of the following:
> 1. Convert to Coda Hale's metrics package
> (https://github.com/codahale/metrics)
> 2. Write a simple metrics package
> The new metrics package should make metrics easier to add and work with and
> package up the common logic of keeping windowed gauges, histograms, counters,
> etc. JMX should be just one output of this.
> The advantage of the Coda Hale package is that it exists so we don't need to
> write it. The downsides are (1) introduces another client dependency which
> causes conflicts, and (2) seems a bit heavy on design. The good news is that
> the metrics-core package doesn't seem to bring in a lot of dependencies which
> is nice, though the scala wrapper seems to want scala 2.9. I am also a little
> skeptical of the approach for histograms--it does sampling instead of
> bucketing though that may be okay.
