             Summary: meta region loading reporter
                 Key: HBASE-18848
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18848
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: stack


We need reporting on meta table accesses.

In quiet a few cases, it is said that our client -- I can believe it -- does too many lookups against meta.

In another case, we found that the hbase canary was ddos'ing the meta table but it took a bunch of messing digging in rpc TRACE to figure out this was the case.

A few users at scale are fingering meta ops as the bound to their being able to scale more (especially if their readers are hosted in MR and startup is a big bang burst of meta scanning)

The report would dump numbers on clients, incidence and type of queries. It would highlight bad actors and pathological behaviors.

This is a particular instance of what a general trace system might provide but we don't have that yet. This could be a good first exercise implementing a trace or it might just use trace engine mechanics to realize a few dump jsps. Whatever, we need some tooling for operators.
