[jira] Created: (CHUKWA-79) Chukwa should use less memory to collect SystemMetrics

Chukwa should use less memory to collect SystemMetrics
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CHUKWA-79
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-79
             Project: Hadoop Chukwa
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jerome Boulon


Chukwa is using 1 daemon process per Exec command. 
This should be reduced to one and we should investigate how to use 3rd party libraries to collect system metrics in a more efficient way.

Mac Yang commented on CHUKWA-79:
--------------------------------

Reported from a user,

I saw 6 java processes whose job are nothing but launching external  
commands (sar, ps, netstat, iostat, df, top, iostat). Each process  
takes 150mb virtual memory and 20MB residential memory. This is a  
total of 120MB for doing very trivial things.

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

We do also have the ExecAdaptor, that launches those processes from within the Chukwa agent.
