Luke Lu commented on HADOOP-7144:
---------------------------------
All metrics are published via JMX via HADOOP-6728. Metrics doesn't support
status, event and a lot meta information that are not time-series, which is a
good thing by design. I'm not proposing deprecating metrics system per se (in
fact HADOOP-6728 enhanced it in a major way), but the /metrics servlet.
> Expose JMX with something like JMXProxyServlet

> Much of the Hadoop metrics and status info is available via JMX, especially
> since 0.20.100, and 0.22+ (HDFS-1318, HADOOP-6728 etc.) For operations staff
> not familiar JMX setup, especially JMX with SSL and firewall tunnelling, the
> usage can be daunting. Using a JMXProxyServlet (a la Tomcat) to translate JMX
> attributes into JSON output would make a lot of non-Java admins happy.
> We could probably use Tomcat's JMXProxyServlet code directly, if it's already
> output some standard format (JSON or XML etc.) The code is simple enough to
> port over and can probably integrate with the common HttpServer as one of the
> default servelet (maybe /jmx) for the pluggable security.
