Ravi Prakash commented on HADOOP-9090:
--------------------------------------
Thanks Luke and Mostafa
bq. and the requirement has universal utility
Agreed. But it also places restrictions on how scalable the system can be.
I'm flexible with where you want to introduce that method. Even then, I would
like the behavior of that method javadoc'ed explicitly stating what the
expectation is if a MetricsSystem cannot provide real-time guarantees.
> Refactor MetricsSystemImpl to allow for an on-demand publish system

> Updated description based on feedback:
> We have a need to publish metrics out of some short-living processes, which
> is not really well-suited to the current metrics system implementation which
> periodically publishes metrics asynchronously (a behavior that works great
> for long-living processes). Of course I could write my own metrics system,
> but it seems like such a waste to rewrite all the awesome code currently in
> the MetricsSystemImpl and supporting classes.
> The way this JIRA solves this problem is adding a new method
> publishMetricsNow() to the MetricsSystemImpl() class, that does a synchronous
> out-of-band push of the metrics from the sources to the sink. I also add a
> method to MetricsSinkAdapter (putMetricsImmediate) to support that change.
