ryan rawson commented on HBASE-1956: ------------------------------------ I'm using the file context and I don't seem to get the count reset. So the average is over all time, not on a heartbeat interval (10s in the config). Is this expected? According to docs on the 'net about volatile, it is not atomic, so maybe im always seeing a race condition and the counter is never reset. > Export HDFS read and write latency as a metric > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-1956 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1956 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Andrew Purtell > Assignee: Andrew Purtell > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.20.3, 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-1956.patch, HBASE-1956.patch > > > HDFS write latency spikes especially are an indicator of general cluster > overloading.
