stack commented on HADOOP-11301:
--------------------------------
Looks much cleaner. Should these two statements be swapped?
{code}
176 updateAttrCache();
177 if (getAllMetrics) {
{code}
... so we only updateAttrCache if getAllMetrics is true?
> [optionally] update jmx cache to drop old metrics

> MetricsSourceAdapter::updateJmxCache() skips updating the info cache if no
> new metric is added since last time:
> {code}
> int oldCacheSize = attrCache.size();
> int newCacheSize = updateAttrCache();
> if (oldCacheSize < newCacheSize) {
> updateInfoCache();
> }
> {code}
> This behavior is not desirable in some applications. For example nntop
> (HDFS-6982) reports the top users via jmx. The list is updated after each
> report. The previously reported top users hence should be removed from the
> cache upon each report request.
> In our production run of nntop we made a change to ignore the size check and
> always perform updateInfoCache. I am planning to submit a patch including
> this change. The feature can be enabled by a configuration parameter.
