Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-17062:
-----------------------------------------------
I could not resist and took a look into CASSANDRA-14572 already and what you do
and we do here is clashing. I think that CASSANDRA-14572 is taking more
holistic approach and what we could do is that we could refactor the metrics
(weighted and unweighted) into one coherent hierarchy / structure as it is done
in this patch but it would be somewhat integrated / build on top of
CASSANDRA-14572. I think that the refactorization of cache metrics (abstracting
the common parts and extend what differs) is valuable in itself regardless of
what 14572 is doing.
14572 takes a different approach to metrics - they are exposed as tables where
each table groups some metric type (counter, histogram, gauge ...). While this
probably "just works", the problem I see is that these metrics are not viewed
all at once as this patch does it. For example, when it come to auth caches, I
do not want to have them being split into tables and then, when I want to have
overall visibility into that cache, I would basically need to query multiple
tables. I prefer to do one query and instantly know what all metrics for
metrics of auth caches are. Maybe there are similar "domains" where instant
overview would be welcome instead of going to individual tables. I think that
there is a lot of situations when an operator just want to seem them all all at
once for some logical component.

> Unlike to other caches (row, key, counter), Auth Caches lack some monitoring
> capabilities. Here are a few particular changes to get this inequity fixed:
> # Add auth caches to _system_views.caches_ VT
> # Expose auth caches metrics via JMX
> # Add auth caches details to _nodetool info_
