Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-12702:
-----------------------------------------
It's conceivable for things to not know their own name, HADOOP-10011.
Admittedly, your system is absolutely hosed at this point and it would never
work in production.
> Add an HDFS metrics sink

> Project: Hadoop Common

> Components: metrics
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Reporter: Daniel Templeton

>
> We need a metrics2 sink that can write metrics to HDFS. The sink should
> accept as configuration a "directory prefix" and do the following in
> {{putMetrics()}}
> * Get yyyyMMddHH from current timestamp.
> * If HDFS dir "dir prefix" + yyyyMMddHH doesn't exist, create it. Close any
> currently open file and create a new file called <hostname>.log in the new
> directory.
> * Write metrics to the current log file.
> * If a write fails, it should be fatal to the process running the sink.
