    Totally understand!  Busy here too.  Let me know what you decide to do and 
I'll try to chip in.


> dogstatsd mode in statsd reporter

>                 Key: FLINK-7009
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7009
>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Metrics
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
>         Environment: org.apache.flink.metrics.statsd.StatsDReporter
>            Reporter: David Brinegar
>             Fix For: 1.4.0

> The current statsd reporter can only report a subset of Flink metrics owing 
> to the manner in which Flink variables are handled, mainly around invalid 
> characters and metrics too long.  As an option, it would be quite useful to 
> have a stricter dogstatsd compliant output.  Dogstatsd metrics are tagged, 
> should be less than 200 characters including tag names and values, be 
> alphanumeric + underbar, delimited by periods.  As a further pragmatic 
> restriction, negative and other invalid values should be ignored rather than 
> sent to the backend.  These restrictions play well with a broad set of 
> collectors and time series databases.
> This mode would:
> * convert output to ascii alphanumeric characters with underbar, delimited by 
> periods.  Runs of invalid characters within a metric segment would be 
> collapsed to a single underbar.
> * report all Flink variables as tags
> * compress overly long segments, say over 50 chars, to a symbolic 
> representation of the metric name, to preserve the unique metric time series 
> but avoid downstream truncation
> * compress 32 character Flink IDs like tm_id, task_id, job_id, 
> task_attempt_id, to the first 8 characters, again to preserve enough 
> distinction amongst metrics while trimming up to 96 characters from the metric
> * remove object references from names, such as the instance hash id of the 
> serializer
> * drop negative or invalid numeric values such as "n/a", "-1" which is used 
> for unknowns like JVM.Memory.NonHeap.Max, and "-9223372036854775808" which is 
> used for unknowns like currentLowWaterMark
> With these in place, it becomes quite reasonable to support LatencyGauge 
> metrics as well.
> One idea for symbolic compression is to take the first 10 valid characters 
> plus a hash of the long name.  For example, a value like this operator_name:
> {code:java}
> TriggerWindow(TumblingProcessingTimeWindows(5000), 
> ReducingStateDescriptor{serializer=org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.runtime.PojoSerializer@f3395ffa,
>  
> reduceFunction=org.apache.flink.streaming.examples.socket.SocketWindowWordCount$1@4201c465},
>  ProcessingTimeTrigger(), WindowedStream.reduce(WindowedStream.java-301))
> {code}
> would first drop the instance references.  The stable version would be:
>  
> {code:java}
> TriggerWindow(TumblingProcessingTimeWindows(5000), 
> ReducingStateDescriptor{serializer=org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.runtime.PojoSerializer,
>  
> reduceFunction=org.apache.flink.streaming.examples.socket.SocketWindowWordCount$1},
>  ProcessingTimeTrigger(), WindowedStream.reduce(WindowedStream.java-301))
> {code}
> and then the compressed name would be the first ten valid characters plus the 
> hash of the stable string:
> {code}
> TriggerWin_d8c007da
> {code}
> This is just one way of dealing with unruly default names, the main point 
> would be to preserve the metrics so they are valid, avoid truncation, and can 
> be aggregated along other dimensions even if this particular dimension is 
> hard to parse after the compression.
