Pranay Singh updated HADOOP-15933:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The usage of HDFS has changed from being used as a map-reduce filesystem, now 
it's becoming more of like a general purpose filesystem. In most of the cases 
there are issues with the Namenode so we have metrics to know the workload or 
stress on Namenode.

However, there is a need to have more statistics collected for different 
operations/RPCs in DFSClient to know which RPC operations are taking longer 
time or to know what is the frequency of the operation.These statistics can be 
exposed to the users of DFS Client and they can periodically log or do some 
sort of flow control if the response is slow. This will also help to isolate 
HDFS issue in a mixed environment where on a node say we have Spark, HBase and 
Impala running together. We can check the throughput of different operation 
across client and isolate the problem caused because of noisy neighbor or 
network congestion or shared JVM.

We have dealt with several problems from the field for which there is no 
conclusive evidence as to what caused the problem. If we had metrics or stats 
in DFSClient we would be better equipped to solve such complex problems.
