[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-15933) Need for more stats in DFSClient

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15933?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16687188#comment-16687188 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-15933:
-----------------------------------------

* can you move this to HDFS
* add version markers, component etc
* Hadoop 3.x added the StorageStatistics stats collection, all stuff should go in there. thanks

> The usage of HDFS has changed from being used as a map-reduce filesystem, now it's becoming more of like a general purpose filesystem. In most of the cases there are issues with the Namenode so we have metrics to know the workload or stress on Namenode.
> However, there is a need to have more statistics collected for different operations/RPCs in DFSClient to know which RPC operations are taking longer time or to know what is the frequency of the operation.These statistics can be exposed to the users of DFS Client and they can periodically log or do some sort of flow control if the response is slow. This will also help to isolate HDFS issue in a mixed environment where on a node say we have Spark, HBase and Impala running together. We can check the throughput of different operation across client and isolate the problem caused because of noisy neighbor or network congestion or shared JVM.
> We have dealt with several problems from the field for which there is no conclusive evidence as to what caused the problem. If we had metrics or stats in DFSClient we would be better equipped to solve such complex problems.
