Erik Krogen commented on HDFS-14084:
------------------------------------
[~pranay_singh] - thanks for taking this on, this is really valuable work.
Regarding:
{quote}
the problem with StorageStatistics is that it just records the frequency of a
particular operation and not it's latency
{quote}
Ideally this would be great time to _extend_ {{StorageStatistics}} to support
latency as well as frequency. This is work I am particularly interested in and
was planning on tackling soon, I would love to collaborate.
{{StorageStatistics}} has had some great work done on it so far, and it isn't
quite where it needs to be yet, but the only way it will get there is by us
continuing to make it better. Going down a parallel path that doesn't have
long-term and/or shareable benefits isn't good in the long run.

> Key: HDFS-14084
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14084
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Pranay Singh
> Assignee: Pranay Singh
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HDFS-14084.001.patch

>
> The usage of HDFS has changed from being used as a map-reduce filesystem, now
> it's becoming more of like a general purpose filesystem. In most of the cases
> there are issues with the Namenode so we have metrics to know the workload or
> stress on Namenode.
> However, there is a need to have more statistics collected for different
> operations/RPCs in DFSClient to know which RPC operations are taking longer
> time or to know what is the frequency of the operation.These statistics can
> be exposed to the users of DFS Client and they can periodically log or do
> some sort of flow control if the response is slow. This will also help to
> isolate HDFS issue in a mixed environment where on a node say we have Spark,
> HBase and Impala running together. We can check the throughput of different
> operation across client and isolate the problem caused because of noisy
> neighbor or network congestion or shared JVM.
> We have dealt with several problems from the field for which there is no
> conclusive evidence as to what caused the problem. If we had metrics or stats
> in DFSClient we would be better equipped to solve such complex problems.
