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.) > Use metrics CSV reporter instead of jmx tool for system tests > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-541 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-541 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Assignee: Yang Ye > Attachments: kafka_541_v1.diff, kafka_541_v2.diff, kafka_541_v3.diff, > metrics-annotation-3.0.1.jar, metrics-core-3.0.1.jar > > > 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.
