Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HDFS-10175:
---------------------------------------------
[~cmccabe], Are you ok to withdraw your "-1" because [~hitesh] has explained
the use case and the memory overhead seems minimal?
One more option is to add a configuration parameter at the client side so that
per-operation statistics can be disabled if client doesn't want to track them.
[~liuml07], I believe it should be easy to add a configuration to disable the
per-op stats?
> add per-operation stats to FileSystem.Statistics

> Currently FileSystem.Statistics exposes the following statistics:
> BytesRead
> BytesWritten
> ReadOps
> LargeReadOps
> WriteOps
> These are in-turn exposed as job counters by MapReduce and other frameworks.
> There is logic within DfsClient to map operations to these counters that can
> be confusing, for instance, mkdirs counts as a writeOp.
> Proposed enhancement:
> Add a statistic for each DfsClient operation including create, append,
> createSymlink, delete, exists, mkdirs, rename and expose them as new
> properties on the Statistics object. The operation-specific counters can be
> used for analyzing the load imposed by a particular job on HDFS.
> For example, we can use them to identify jobs that end up creating a large
> number of files.
> Once this information is available in the Statistics object, the app
> frameworks like MapReduce can expose them as additional counters to be
> aggregated and recorded as part of job summary.
