Dmytro Molkov updated HADOOP-6470:
----------------------------------
Attachment: JMX.patch
I created the first iteration of the context for JMX, any comments are welcome.
Also it would be helpful if someone can come up with a way to test this context.
> JMX Context for Metrics
> -----------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-6470
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6470
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Dmytro Molkov
> Attachments: JMX.patch
>
>
> The way metrics are currently exposed to the JMX in the NameNode is not
> helpful, since only the current counters in the record can be fetched and
> without any context those number mean little.
> For example the number of files created equal to 150 only means that in the
> last period there were 150 files created but when the new period will end is
> unknown so fetching 150 again will either mean another 150 files or we are
> fetching the same time period.
> One of the solutions for this problem will be to have a JMX context that will
> accumulate the data (being child class of AbstractMetricsContext) and expose
> different records to the JMX through custom MBeans. This way the information
> fetched from the JMX will represent the state of things in a more meaningful
> way.
