----------------------------------

Hello Varun,

I am trying to understand the jira and I have some questions. I understand what 
you are saying by aggregation could aggregate only those metrics that are 
reported by entities in the current timeframe. I am trying to think of an 
example where we need aggregation for only currently reported metrics vs 
aggregation for lifetime metrics.

CPU may be a good example of aggregating currently reported metrics? For 
instance, we might want to see what is the CPU usage while these containers are 
running but once a container is done, we need not consider it's last reported 
CPU for current CPU usage of this app. 

But, for other metrics, like say HDFS_BYTES_READ, perhaps we do want to think 
about how many bytes have been read across tasks? I am thinking out loud. 

Also, for CPU, perhaps we might want to know across this application what was 
the cpu used by all the containers in the lifetime of this app? What metrics 
are you thinking of..

> Currently app level aggregation is done every 15 seconds.
> And we consider last reported metric value for each entity belonging to an 
> app for aggregation.
> We however merely update the corresponding metric values for the entity on 
> put. We never remove the entries.
> But it is possible that multiple entities finish during lifetime of an 
> application. We however continue to consider them till the end.
> We should however not consider metric values of entities unless reported 
> within the 15 second period.
> Consider containers. For a long running app, several containers would start 
> and end at various times during the lifetime of an app.
> To consider metrics for all the containers throughout the lifetime of app, 
> hence wont be correct.
