Hi Xintong, 

Yes, initializing the metric in the `open` method works, but it doesn't solve 
my problem. 
I want to initialize the metric with a name that is extracted from the record 
content. Only in the `invoke` method i can do it.

Actually my scenario is as follows.
The record is MySQL binlog info.  I want to monitor the qps by tableName. The 
tableName is different for every record. 

Thanks,
Lei

then reuse it?
Hi Lei,

I think you should initialize the metric in the `open` method. Then you can 
save the initialized metric as a class field, and update it in the `invoke` 
method for each record.

Thank you~

In one flink operator, i want to initialize multiple flink metrics according to 
message content. 
As the code below.

public void invoke(ObjectNode node, Context context) throws Exception {

    String tableName = node.get("metadata").get("topic").asText();
    Meter meter = getRuntimeContext().getMetricGroup().meter(tableName, new 
MeterView(10));
    meter.markEvent();
    log.info("### counter: " + meter.toString() + "\t" +  meter.getCount());


But in this way every invoke call will initialize a new metrics and the count 
will be from zero again.
How can i reuse the metric initialized before?

Thanks,
Lei
