Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-12665:
--------------------------------------------

[~stack] From a usability standpoint, how many lines do you get when dumping 
the metrics? Looks like it would go in the hundreds (also you are showing the 
master's metrics, standalone?). What I liked about what we had before was that 
it was concise and contained mostly stuff I was interested in, whereas now we 
seem to be getting all the histograms. Also, it goes to stdout instead of being 
logged, was that intentional? I'm not sure how that's gonna come out if there's 
loads of stuff being logged (like it usually is when a RS is aborting), it 
might get mixed a bit. Finally, it would be nice to get some description of 
what's being dumped. I was actually confused when I saw this part:

{noformat}
2014-12-09 13:44:21,244 FATAL [main] regionserver.HRegionServer(1927): 
RegionServer abort: loaded coprocessors are: 
[org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.MultiRowMutationEndpoint]
{
  "beans" : [ {
{noformat}

It felt like the metrics were a continuation of the coprocessors printout. I'm 
easy to confuse so that might just be me.

Thanks for picking this up. In this time of the year, family values are more 
important than ever.

> We used to dump out all metrics when we were exiting on abort. Was of use
