Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-1956:
--------------------------------------------

Is there a reason why MetricsTimeVaryingRate is incremented on the 
MetricsContext polling period instead of every operation?  This results in our 
min/max data being the maximum of all polling period aggregates seen so far 
instead of the maximum operation.  I understand that our write/sync metrics 
will not be consistent due to group commit, but we still want to observe edge 
case behavior, correct?

> Export HDFS read and write latency as a metric

> HDFS write latency spikes especially are an indicator of general cluster 
> overloading. We see this where the WAL writer complains about writes taking > 
> 1 second, sometimes > 4, etc.  If for example the average write latency over 
> the monitoring period is exported as a metric, then this can feed into 
> alerting for or automatic provisioning of additional cluster hardware. While 
> we're at it, export read side metrics as well.
