Pushed the hadoop-metrics.properties changes, and it seems better but not quite. [It doesn't look like all the Region Servers are reporting similar set of counters (on some I am seeing "multiput" stuff, although we aren' t), lot of the average times are close to 0.]
So next I looked into the HBASE-2146 patch, and that doesn't appear to be in trunk although at some point it was in trunk earlier. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/hbase/trunk/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/ipc/HBaseRpcMetrics.java?p2=%2Fhadoop%2Fhbase%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fhadoop%2Fhbase%2Fipc%2FHBaseRpcMetrics.java&p1=%2Fhadoop%2Fhbase%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fhadoop%2Fhbase%2Fipc%2FHBaseRpcMetrics.java&r1=901402&r2=901401&view=diff&pathrev=901402 Will try applying the patch locally to see if that helps.

Gary, With some recent restructuring of our conf/* and cluster deploy scripts, we did lose our hadoop-metrics.properties changes, and reverted back to the default one. That could very well report the issue I ran into. I'll report back when I try it out. Thanks again for your help on this. Q: Why don't we make the suggested settings in http://hbase.apache.org/docs/current/metrics.html be part of the default conf/hadoop-metrics.properties?

Hmm, this sounds like HBASE-2146. That patch had added code to initialize the RPC metrics MBean with a know list of RPC method names maintained in HBaseRPC.Invocation. That way all per-method metrics would show up on server startup. I believe that that method name mapping was later removed though (it can make the RPC serialization brittle, complicating things like rolling restarts), so maybe the patch that was applied to trunk was later removed? The MBean attributes for individual RPC methods _should_ be there after there has been activity involving those requests against the cluster. If you start jconsole prior to the cluster activity however, I don't think the MBean definition will update, so you'll need to restart jconsole for them to show up. In addition, you should make sure you're running with a metrics context with an updater configured in conf/hadoop-metrics.properties (NullContextWithUpdateThread, FileContext, GangliaContext, etc). And configure rpc.period with the update interval. These metrics don't show up as live counters in JMX, they're only pushed out to JMX during the periodic updates. If you've already configured all of those conditions and the metrics _still_ aren't showing up, then let me know and I'll try to do some testing on trunk tomorrow. --gh On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 8:32 PM, Kannan Muthukkaruppan <[email protected]>wrote: > > they don't exist until used? > > I was doing a whole bunch of puts & gets against the cluster during that > time.
