Swikar Patel updated KAFKA-18495: --------------------------------- Description: The `numberOfOpenFiles` metric in the Kafka Streams RocksDB state store implementation is currently invalid and should be removed. This metric was intended to report the approximate number of open files in the RocksDB instance. It was previously calculated using the RocksDB internal metric `NO_FILE_CLOSES`, which was removed in RocksDB version 7.9.3. Due to this change, the `numberOfOpenFiles` metric no longer provides accurate information. The current workaround is to have it always return -1, which is misleading. The `numberOfOpenFiles` metric is: Invalid It does not reflect the actual number of open files in RocksDB. This misleading and returning -1 can confuse users and monitoring systems and unnecessary it provides no useful information in its current state. h4. Proposed Solution This Jira issue is to implement the changes proposed in [KIP-1125:|[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1125%3A+Remove+Invalid+%27numberOfOpenFiles%27+Metric+from+RocksDB+State+Store]]. The solution is to completely remove the `opennumberfiles` metric, including: * Removing the related code in `RocksDBMetricsRecorder` (`numberOfOpenFilesSensor`, recording logic). * Removing the `numberOfOpenFilesSensor` method in `RocksDBMetrics` * Updating the Kafka Streams documentation to reflect the metric's removal. h4.
