> Support simple on-demand metrics aggregation
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-7781
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7781
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metrics, REST
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> We should support aggregations (min, max, avg, sum) of metrics in the REST
> API. This is primarily about aggregating across subtasks, for example the
> number of incoming records across all subtasks.
> This is useful for simple use-cases where a dedicated metrics backend is
> overkill, and will allow us to provide better metrics in the web UI (since we
> can expose these aggregated as well).
> I propose to add a new query parameter "agg=[min,max,avg,sum]". As a start
> this parameter should only be used for task metrics. (This is simply the main
> use-case i have in mind)
> The aggregation should (naturally) only work for numeric metrics.
> We will need a HashSet of metrics that exist for subtasks of a given tasks
> that has to be updated in {{MetricStore#add}}.
> All task metrics are either stored as
> # {{<subtask-index>.<metric>}} or
> # {{<subtask-index>.<operator-name>.<metric>}}.
> If a user sends a request {{get=mymetric,agg=sum}}, only the metrics of the
> first kind are to be considered. Similarly, given a request
> {{get=myoperator.mymetric,agg=sum}} only metrics of the second kind are to be
> considered.
> Ideally, the name of the aggregated metric (i.e. the original name without
> subtask index) is also contained in the list of available metrics.
