Doug Meil commented on HBASE-4147:
----------------------------------
Hi Nicolas, I updated another version of this
"...storefilereport_2011_08_10.pdf" with a "Why" section that has a little more
background on scenarios.
In a word: Statspack. Say what one might about Oracle, that report in was the
intersection of DBA and developer reporting. So the answer to the question
"developer" vs. "DBA" is "both."
re: HBASE-4057, is "show processlist" a point-in-time command? It seems to
be. That's certainly useful, but it's a little different than the view that
statspack provides, which does the summary for you.

> Detailed information on what HBase is doing in terms of reads is hard to come
> by.
> What would be useful is to have a periodic StoreFile query report.
> Specifically, this could run on a configured interval (e.g., every 30
> seconds, 60 seconds) and dump the output to the log files.
> This would have all StoreFiles accessed during the reporting period (and with
> the Path we would also know region, CF, and table), # of times the StoreFile
> was accessed, the size of the StoreFile, and the total time (ms) spent
> processing that StoreFile.
> Even this level of summary would be useful to detect a which tables & CFs are
> being accessed the most, and including the StoreFile would provide insight
> into relative "uncompaction" (i.e., lots of StoreFiles).
> I think the log-output, as opposed to UI, is an important facet with this.
> I'm assuming that users will slice and dice this data on their own so I think
> we should skip any kind of admin view for now (i.e., new JSPs, new APIs to
> expose this data). Just getting this to log-file would be a big improvement.
> Will this have a non-zero performance impact? Yes. Hopefully small, but yes
> it will. However, flying a plane without any instrumentation isn't fun. :-)
