[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-5786) Implement histogram metrics for flush and compaction latencies and sizes.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13396880#comment-13396880 ] 

Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-5786:
--------------------------------------

I actually think that most metrics should go toward histograms rather than TimeVaryingRate .  Others have mentioned that an average is not really useful when hbase is the primary data store of a live website/app.  That use case is much more interested in the 75/95/99th percentile.  Once HBASE-6211 is in I can take this up.  Maybe with some of the metrics refactor that Lars is talking about.

> Average time for region operations doesn't really tell a useful story when that help diagnose anomalous conditions.
> It would be extremely useful to add histogramming metrics similar to HBASE-5533 for region operations like flush, compaction and splitting.  The probably should be forward biased at a much coarser granularity however (maybe decay every day?)
