----------------------------------------------
Summary: Document how to use and close a 'Statistics' in the
example RocksDBConfigSetter
Key: KAFKA-14459
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14459
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: docs, streams
Reporter: A. Sophie Blee-Goldman
We fixed a memory leak in KAFKA-14432 where we were sometimes failing to close
the `Statistics` object used for rocksdb metrics. Since users can define their
own Statistics as well, we should make sure they know that this has to be
closed like we do for other `RocksDBObject` classes like the Cache. It might
also be useful to provide an example of how to use Statistics and what can be
done with it.
We currently have two sample RocksDBConfigSetter implementations in the docs,
both of which could be updated here:
# [rocksdb memory management
docs](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/streams/developer-guide/memory-mgmt.html#rocksdb)
-- consider including a Statistics in this example to highlight that it needs
to be closed? This one could arguably be skipped, although the formatting of
this sample config setter seems to be messed up so this might be a good
opportunity to fix that on the side
# [rocksdb.config.setter config
docs](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/streams/developer-guide/config-streams.html#id20):
this would be a good place to include an example that actually uses the
Statistics for something (assuming there's some reason for users to define
their own Statistics in the first place, which I personally do not know). We
can potentially link to this example from the metrics docs
