Joel Koshy commented on KAFKA-541:
----------------------------------

Delayed review, but nevertheless:

The KafkaCSVMetricsReporter object may be better named as KafkaMetricsReporter 
since startCSVMetricsReporter
potentially starts up other (non-CSV) reporters (if any) as well - in which 
case KafkaMetricsReporter.scala would be a
better place for it. Or, you can just filter out non-CSV reporters.

Also, the top-level/config/server.properties need not enable the csv reporter. 
I thought the system test replication
suite's server.properties would need to be patched, but it isn't. Does this 
mean the test suite picks up the top-level
config as a template?

I can take care of the above in some other (unrelated) jiras that I have on my 
plate. However:

Can you please attach the metrics patch to fix the Timer CSV reporting? and 
ideally, submit a pull-request to the
metrics project? We should get off our patched version of metrics as soon as 
metrics-core@github is patched. (I had put
the metrics github hash in the previous jar so we know exactly which version of 
the code we are on.)

> The existing system test framework spawns off a bunch of jmxtool processes to 
> collect metrics. This is rather heavy-weight and also, requires advance 
> knowledge of all the beans (many of which are dynamically registered). E.g., 
> per-topic stats pop-up only after the topics are produced to.
> Since we are using metrics-core, we can just turn on the CSV reporter to 
> collect these stats. I had originally thought version 2.1.3 had various bugs 
> that rendered it unusable for CSV reporter, but I gave it another try and it 
> seems to be fine. Will post some output.
