[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-4089) blockCache contents report

["stack (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4089?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14007746#comment-14007746 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-4089:
------------------------------

Let me take this over.  The committed backend code, HBASE-4199, was never used.  Let me pull it around and have it show in UI (Will hijack HBASE-4200 too).  Let me make it work for bucketcache and lrublockcache at least doing something like the comment over in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4027?focusedCommentId=13068544&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13068544

> Summarized block-cache report for a RegionServer would be helpful.  For example ...
> table1
>   cf1   100 blocks, totalBytes=yyyyy, averageTimeInCache=XXXX hours
>   cf2   200 blocks, totalBytes=zzzzz, averageTimeInCache=XXXX hours
> table2
>   cf1  75 blocks, totalBytes=yyyyy, averageTimeInCache=XXXX hours
>   cf2 150 blocks, totalBytes=zzzzz, averageTimeInCache=XXXX hours
> ... Etc.
> The current metrics list blockCacheSize and blockCacheFree, but there is no way to know what's in there.  Any single block isn't really important, but the patterns of what CF/Table they came from, how big are they, and how long (on average) they've been in the cache, are important.
> No such interface exists in HRegionInterface.  But I think it would be helpful from an operational perspective.
> Updated (7-29):  Removing suggestion for UI.  I would be happy just to get this report on a configured interval dumped to a log file.
