Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-6982:
----------------------------------
{code}
+ if (bucket.isStaleNow(time)) {
+ bucket.safeReset(time);
+ }
{code}
Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like that it resets the bucket on
every intervals, causing hiccups in the data. It might make more sense to use a
decay function in this case:
{code}
bucket <- alpha * bucket + delta
{code}
Where 0 < alpha < 1. Assuming that the requests follow a Poisson distribution,
you can calculate alpha w.r.t. each window based on the timespan of the delta.

> In this jira we motivate the need for nntop, a tool that, similarly to what
> top does in Linux, gives the list of top users of the HDFS name node and
> gives insight about which users are sending majority of each traffic type to
> the name node. This information turns out to be the most critical when the
> name node is under pressure and the HDFS admin needs to know which user is
> hammering the name node and with what kind of requests. Here we present the
> design of nntop which has been in production at Twitter in the past 10
> months. nntop proved to have low cpu overhead (< 2% in a cluster of 4K
> nodes), low memory footprint (less than a few MB), and quite efficient for
> the write path (only two hash lookup for updating a metric).
