> At present, we only register task-level numRecordsOut metric by reusing
> operator output record counter at the end of OperatorChain.
> {code:java}
> if (config.isChainEnd()) {
> operatorMetricGroup.getIOMetricGroup().reuseOutputMetricsForTask();
> }
> {code}
> If we only send data out through the last operator of OperatorChain, there is
> no problem with this statistics. But consider the following scenario:
> !image-2020-08-04-11-28-13-800.png|width=507,height=174!
> In this JobGraph, we not only send data in the last operator, but also send
> data in the middle operator of OperatorChain (the map operator just returns
> the original value directly). Below is one of our test topology, we can see
> that the statistics actually only have half of the total data received by the
> downstream.
> !image-2020-08-04-11-32-20-678.png|width=648,height=251!
> I think the data sent out by the intermediate operator should also be counted
> into the numRecordsOut of the Task. But currently we are not reusing
> operators output record counters in the intermediate operators, which leads
> to our task-level numRecordsOut metric is underestimated (although this has
> no effect on the actual operation of the job, it may affect our monitoring).
> A simple idea of mine is to modify the condition of reusing operators
> output record counter:
> {code:java}
> if (!config.getNonChainedOutputs(getUserCodeClassloader()).isEmpty()) {
> operatorMetricGroup.getIOMetricGroup().reuseOutputMetricsForTask();
> }{code}
> In addition, I have another question: If a record is broadcast to all
> downstream, should the numRecordsOut counter increase by one or the
> downstream number? It seems that currently we are adding one to calculate the
> numRecordsOut metric.
