[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8662) Switch cfhistograms from using yammer metrics in 2.1

["Aleksey Yeschenko (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8662:
----------------------------------------------

Would love to, but not sure if we can do it without breaking backward compatibility in a minor release (looking at pluggable metrics reporting breakage).

Also, it's a reasonable amount of codes, probably too much for a 2.1 minor :(

> cfhistograms was changed to use the yammer histograms CASSANDRA-5871.  Until CASSANDRA-5657's change to metrics we shouldn't represent the yammer histogram for latency metrics.  Yammer's histogram is based on assumption of a normal distribution and is bad at representing the tail percentiles with skewed distributions.  So revert the change just in the 2.1 branch but leave it for 3.0.
