Chris Lohfink commented on CASSANDRA-7731:
------------------------------------------
Cassandra is using an old (few years) version of metrics and has gone through a
couple name changes. The non-histogram values (sum, count, min, max etc) are
the length of the application. Only the histogram uses the reservoir, the
weighted one is the default but you can specify it to length of application:

> Get max values for live/tombstone cells per slice

> median (or whatever you'd used instead) value is based on 1028 values.
> I think we should also be able to detect that some requests are accessing a
> lot of live/tombstone cells per query and that's not possible for now without
> activating DEBUG for SliceQueryFilter for example and by tweaking the
> threshold. Currently as nodetool cfstats returns the median if a low part of
> the queries are scanning a lot of live/tombstone cells we miss it !
