Ronald Macmaster commented on HBASE-18409:
------------------------------------------
No problem [~elserj]. I appreciate the help, and I'm sorry for the delay.
Would you like me to submit another patch with the whitespace fix?
I was hesitant to pollute the thread with too many Hudson reports xD

> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h
>
> Currently, the metrics for hbase-client are tailored for reporting via a
> client-side JMX server.
> The MetricsConnection handles the metrics management and reporting via the
> metrics platform from codahale.
> This approach worked well for hbase-1.3.1 when the metrics platform was still
> relatively young, but it could be improved by using the new
> hbase-metrics-api.
> Now that we have an actual hbase-metrics-api that master, regionserver,
> zookeeper, and other daemons use, it would be good to also allow the client
> to leverage the metrics-api.
> Then, the client could also report its metrics via Hadoop's metrics2 if
> desired or through another platform that utilizes the hbase-metrics-api.
> If left alone, client metrics will continue to be only barely visible through
> a client-side JMX server.
> The migration to the new metrics-api could be done by simply changing the
> Metrics data types from codahale types to hbase-metrics types without
> changing the metrics signatures of MetricsConnection unless completely
> necessary.
> The codahale MetricsRegistry would also have to be exchanged for a
> hbase-metrics MetricsRegistry.
> I found this to be a necessary change after attempting to implement my own
> Reporter to use within the MetricsConnection class.
> I was attempting to create a HadoopMetrics2Reporter that extends the codahale
> ScheduledReporter and reports the MetricsConnection metrics to Hadoop's
> metrics2 system.
> The already existing infrastructure in the hbase-metrics and
> hbase-metrics-api projects could be easily leveraged for a cleaner solution.
> If completed successfully, users could instead access their client-side
> metrics through the hbase-metrics-api.
