Andrew Kyle Purtell commented on HBASE-25329:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Patch seems fine but was curious if we considered adding something like a
/rit end point (servlet) on master?
I am just getting back up to speed after vacation but let me say the current
patch is not ok in my opinion. Please fix the below issues (IMHO):
Description is "Dump region hashes in logs for the regions that are stuck in
transition for more than a configured amount of time", but
- Only the first N hashes are logged.
- Patch introduces new metrics. (I share Bharath's view that the usefulness of
the new metrics is questionable.)
In my opinion RITs are too transient to have a metric for each RIT instance.
Metrics about RITs, like total count of RITs in the current metrics reporting
period, these are reasonable metrics and we already have them. Per region hash
RIT metrics represent objects and data with a limited lifespan and usefulness
and are best exported and processed by some other means, such as the debug dump
servlet (functionality we already have). This is just my opinion and may not be
shared by others.
If this patch proposes to "dump region hashes in logs for the regions that are
stuck in transition for more than a configured amount of time", then it should
actually dump all of the found RITs. Otherwise in my opinion it fails to
achieve the basic aim. While there does need to be a limit on total line length
of an emitted log line, it is certainly possible to emit as many log lines as
needed to dump all RIT in progress.

> We have metrics for number of RITs as well as number of RITs above a certain
> threshold, but we don't have any way of keeping track of the region hashes of
> those RITs. It would be beneficial to emit those region hashes as a metric,
> as well as log them, so that we don't accidentally lose this information for
> debugging the RIT at a later tiime.
