Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2241 I don't think utilizing metrics consumer in TVL is the issue: it might matter if results are close so that contributions of other system component does matter, but it is just not acceptable latency for low rate. Huge gap between twos. Let's say we get rid of metrics consumer and that makes stable, then are we going to pursue users to not use metrics consumer? That doesn't make sense. While I don't think so, but if we think metrics consumer contributes throughput and/or latency in really odd way, it needs to be validated and fixed. As you can see my result, CPU was over 100% even with rate 500 and total tasks of three key components were 12 (not 48, please keep in mind). All results for TVL was captured in that way. So this patch shows high CPU usage in baseline (say minimal load) and shows fluctuation by 80% all over rate 10000, whereas master branch was 20%.
