Varun Saxena commented on YARN-3862: ------------------------------------ bq. My feeling is that the concept of timeline filter may become a part of our object model, so that client users can easily communicate? Do we want to expose it to the client ? Suggestion sounds good. That wasnt the plan but if everyone agrees, lets have it that way. bq. are we treating our timeline filters as pure-data objects (models) Yes I am as of now treating them as pure data objects. That is why instead of using polymorphism and converting the filter to HBase Filter by providing a method for conversion in the filter class(es), I kept the conversion in util class. The intention was to decouple filters from storage implementation. bq. is it easy, or possible, for us to implement a "paging filter"? Will look into it. > Decide which contents to retrieve and send back in response in TimelineReader > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-3862 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-3862 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: timelineserver > Affects Versions: YARN-2928 > Reporter: Varun Saxena > Assignee: Varun Saxena > Attachments: YARN-3862-YARN-2928.wip.01.patch > > > Currently, we will retrieve all the contents of the field if that field is > specified in the query API. In case of configs and metrics, this can become a > lot of data even though the user doesn't need it. So we need to provide a way > to query only a set of configs or metrics. > As a comma spearated list of configs/metrics to be returned will be quite > cumbersome to specify, we have to support either of the following options : > # Prefix match > # Regex > # Group the configs/metrics and query that group. > We also need a facility to specify a metric time window to return metrics in > a that window. This may be useful in plotting graphs -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
