[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-6220) PersistentMetricsTimeVaryingRate gets used for non-time-based metrics

["Paul Cavallaro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13401085#comment-13401085 ] 

Paul Cavallaro commented on HBASE-6220:
---------------------------------------

The "_avg_time" is hardcoded in org.apache.hadoop.metrics.util.MetricsTimeVaryingRate in hadoop-core. I could duplicate the functionality in order to change the String, or try to get a change pushed upstream. Both solutions seem like overkill. I also noticed that the underlying metrics package is deprecated and the metrics2 package seems to be the way forward. As I am a "noob" does anyone have thoughts on what the proper approach might be?

Thanks,
-Paul

> PersistentMetricsTimeVaryingRate gets used for metrics that are not time-based, leading to confusing names such as "avg_time" for compaction size, etc.  You hav to read the code in order to understand that this is actually referring to bytes, not seconds.
