jvm metrics all use the same namespace
--------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7507
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7507
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: metrics
Affects Versions: 0.20.2
Reporter: Jeff Bean
Ganglia jvm metrics don't make sense because it's not clear which java process
the metrics refer to. In fact, all hadoop java processes running on a node
report their jvm metrics to the same namespace.
The metrics are exposed by the "jvm" context in JvmMetrics.java. This leads to
confusing and nonsensical graphs in ganglia and maybe other monitoring tools.
One way to fix this is to make sure the process name is reported in the jvm
context, making it clear which process is associated with the context, and
separating out the jvm metrics per process.
This is marked as an "incompatible change" because the fix provided removes the
JVM metrics and replaces it with process-specific metrics.
