             Summary: Finer grained logging and metrics for split transactions
                 Key: HBASE-12424
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12424
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 0.98.8, 0.99.2


A split transaction is a complex orchestration of activity between the RegionServer, Master, ZooKeeper, and HDFS NameNode. We have some visibility into the time taken by various phases of the split transaction in the logs. We will see "Starting split of region $PARENT" before the transaction begins, before the parent is offlined. Later we will see "Opening $DAUGHTER" as one of the last steps in the transaction, this is after the parent has been flushed, offlined, and closed. Finally ""Region split, hbase:meta updated, and report to master ... Split took $TIME" after all steps are complete and including the total running time of the transaction. 

For debugging the cause(s) of long running split transactions it would be useful to know the distribution of time spent in all of the phases of the split transaction.
