             Summary: Add metrics about open iterators
                 Key: KAFKA-15437
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15437
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: streams
            Reporter: Matthias J. Sax


Kafka Streams allows to create iterators over state stores. Those iterator must 
get closed to free up resources (especially for RocksDB). – We regularly get 
user reports of "resource leaks" that can be pinned down to leaking (ie 
not-closed) iterators.

To simplify monitoring, it would be helpful to add a metric about open 
iterators to allow users to alert and pin-point the issue directly (and before 
the actually resource leak is observed).

We might want to have a DEBUG level per-store metric (to allow identifying the 
store in question quickly), but an already rolled up INFO level metric for the 
whole application.
