> Today the {{ExternalBlockHandler}} component of ESS exposes some useful metrics, but is lacking around metrics for the rate of block transfers. We have {{blockTransferRateBytes}} to tell us the rate of _bytes_, but no metric to tell us the rate of _blocks_, which is especially relevant when running the ESS on HDDs that are sensitive to random reads. Many small block transfers can have a negative impact on performance, but won't show up as a spike in {{blockTransferRateBytes}} since the sizes are small.
> We can also enhance {{YarnShuffleServiceMetrics}} to expose histogram-style metrics from the {{Timer}} instances within {{ExternalBlockHandler}} -- today it is only exposing the count and rate, but not timing information from the {{Snapshot}}.
> These two changes can make it easier to monitor the health of the ESS.
