[jira] [Created] (FLINK-12680) Add timer type to metric system
Piyush Goyal created FLINK-12680:
------------------------------------
Summary: Add timer type to metric system
Key: FLINK-12680
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12680
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Piyush Goyal
Currently Flink metric system supports counter, gauge, histogram and meter. For cases which involve measuring the latency of a certain short-term event (such as request latency in a connector), none of these metric type is a good fit. Most metric system supports a timer type which is highly useful in such cases. Timers are useful for measuring short-duration latencies and the frequency of such events. All implementations of {{Timer}} report at least the total time and count of events as separate time series.
A timer type will be a nice addition to the existing metric types in Flink.
