-----------------------------------------
Component/s: Metrics
> Emit metrics for JVM safepoint pause
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-13491
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13491
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Metrics
> Reporter: Simon Zhou

> GC pause is not the only source of latency from JVM. In one of our recent
> production issues, the metrics for GC looks good (some >200ms and longest
> 500ms) but GC logs show periodic pauses like this:
> {code}
> 2017-04-26T01:51:29.420+0000: 352535.998: Total time for which application
> threads were stopped: 19.8835870 seconds, Stopping threads took: 19.7842073
> seconds
> {code}
> This huge delay should be JVM malfunction but it caused some requests
> timeout. So I'm suggesting to add support for safepoint pause for better
> observability. Two problems though:
> 1. This depends on JVM. Some JVMs may not expose these internal MBeans. This
> is actually the same case for existing GCInspector.
> 2. For Hotspot, it has HotspotRuntime as an internal MBean so that we can get
> safepoint pause. However, there is no notification support for that. I got
> error "MBean sun.management:type=HotspotRuntime does not implement
> javax.management.NotificationBroadcaster" when trying to register a listener.
> This means we will need to pull the safepoint pauses from HotspotRuntime
> periodically.
> Reference:

> Anyone think we should support this?
