----------------------------------------
Hi Ming Ma, it seems like MutableRate in metrics 2 might be appropriate here?
> Provide rate metrics based on counter value

> In production clusters, it is more useful to have ops / sec instead of
> increasing counter value. Take NameNodeMetrics.getBlockLocations as an
> example, its current type is MutableCounterLong and thus the value is
> increasing all the time. Quite often "num of getBlockLocations" per second is
> more interesting for analysis. Further I found most of the MutableCounterLong
> in NamenodeMetrics and DataNodeMetrics are more useful if they are expressed
> in terms of ops / sec.
> I looked at all the metrics objects provided in metrics 2.0, couldn't find
> such type.
> FYI, hbase has its own MetricsRate object based on metrics 1.0 for this
> purpose.
