Howard Yoo commented on HADOOP-15231:
-------------------------------------
Hi Steve, thanks for the comment, and sorry for submitting this without too
much concerns.
The biggest reason of what motivated to me to write this WavefrontSink, was due
to the fact that WavefrontSink's data format is merely an extension of the
Graphite format, with the addition of source and point tag to denote a specific
source system and additional point tags data to it (rather than those being
part of the metric name). Since I saw a GraphiteSink already existing and added
to hadoop's list of Sinks, I thought it shouldn't be too difficult and thus can
be added. I basically copied much of GraphiteSink's source code, and slightly
changed the part that creates source and point tags to conform with Wavefront
data format.
If adding a new Sink class to the hadoop source tree is going to be too much of
a trouble, I wouldn't proceed further. But please understand that it is
essentially almost same as GraphiteSink, and I thought it wouldn't be needed to
be extensively tested (once again, sorry for my lack of thoughts). But please
do consider if this would be possible. I don't have too much experience in
working in apache hadoop community, so would like to ask what would be a good
choice to you.
> WavefrontSink for Hadoop Metrics2

> Key: HADOOP-15231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15231
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: metrics
> Reporter: Howard Yoo
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: metrics, wavefront
>
> Wavefront is a SaaS based large scale real time metrics monitoring and
> analytic system capable of monitoring many different source systems. There
> are several Sinks available in Hadoop in order to capture various metrics to
> external system. The Wavefront data format follows a similar format as that
> of Graphite, with the addition of native point tag support and source value.
> The details are outlined here:
> [https://docs.wavefront.com/wavefront_data_format.html]
> It would be greatly helpful for both Hadoop and Wavefront to have a native
> integration using Wavefront Sink to send Hadoop related metrics to Wavefront
> Server.
