> Upgrade metrics library
> -----------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-6836
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6836
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: metrics
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Mario Molina
> Assignee: Mario Molina
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> The current metrics library which Kafka is using is pretty old (version 2.2.0
> from Yammer and now we have 4.X from Dropwizard).
> In the latest versions of the Dropwizard library (which comes from Yammer and
> this is deprecated), there are a lot of bugfixes and new features included
> which could be interesting for the metrics (ie: Reservoris, support JDK9,
> etc).
> This patch includes the upgrade to this new version of the library so that we
> could add new features in Kafka metrics.
