Github user srdo commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2714 It might be good to consider whether we could move away from `static` for metrics, and consider if we could do dependency injection instead? The cause of the issue you mention on JIRA (accidentally loading metrics) seems to me to be because the metrics registration is `static`. We're already kind of using StormMetricsRegistry/StormMetricRegistry as if they belong to the daemon classes, because the daemons are responsible for calling `start`/`stop` on them. I think for many of the daemons (e.g. Nimbus, Supervisor, DRPCServer), we could probably instantiate a StormMetricsRegistry in the main method or main class constructor, and pass that down to any other classes that need it. That way we could move metrics registration to be non-static, so we don't run into this kind of problem. What do you think @zd-project?
