An API for reporting performance metrics
----------------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-132
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-132
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: New Feature

    Reporter: David Bowen



I'd like to propose adding an API for reporting performance metrics.  I will 
post some javadoc as soon as I figure out how to do so.  The idea is for the 
API to be sufficiently abstract that various different implementations can be 
plugged in.  In particular, there would be one that just writes the metric data 
to a file, and another that sends metrics to Ganglia.  It would also be 
possible to plug in an implementation that can support high-frequency (say, 
per-second) sending of fairly large amounts of data (up to hundreds of metrics) 
across the network.

I'd be very interested in people's thoughts about what the requirements should 
be for such an API.
