> We want to evolve the Hadoop metrics subsystem into a more generic
> Instrumentation facility. The ultimate goal is to add structured logging to
> Hadoop, with causal tags, a la X-trace. The existing metrics framework is
> not quite suitable for our needs, since the implementation and interface are
> tightly coupled. There's no way to use the metrics instrumentation points for
> anything other than metricss, and there's no way for a metrics context to
> find out what event just happened.
> We want to tease apart the generic notion of hookable instrumentation points,
> from the specifics of the information recording. The latter ought to be
> pluggable at run-time.
