Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7507:
-------------------------------------
- In hadoop-metrics2.properties, we should probably default
tagsForPrefix.jvm=ProcessName, right? So that the default behavior with the new
metrics system solves the original issue of this JIRA
- TAGS_FOR_PREFIX_PROPERTY can be private
- minor efficiency nit: change createPrefix() to be appendPrefix(MetricsRecord
record, StringBuilder builder) so you can just call appendPrefix(record, sb);
- createPrefix could be package-private, right?
> jvm metrics all use the same namespace

> 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.
