Misty Stanley-Jones commented on HBASE-8315:
--------------------------------------------

[~daisuke.kobayashi] Do you think this info is still current? Where did you envision it going in the Ref Guide? I couldn't find a place where any of this is discussed currently.

> Unfortunately, there's no documentation to explain the meaning of each LRU Stats in the regionserver logs.  So this is for creating a new paragraph regarding this.  My current idea is below, but it's a little bit difficult to explain the difference between 'cachingAccesses' and 'accesses' from an administrator or a user views.

> total: The current memory size of the cache in use.
> free: The total free memory currently available to store more cache entries.
> max: Maximum allowed memory size of the cache.
> blocks: Caches store blocks of data; this number is the current # of blocks stored, which use up the "total" memory space.
> accesses: The total number of times the cache was accessed, regardless of result.
> hits: The total number of times the cache was accessed and the result was a successful hit (presence of looked up element in cache is a hit).
> hitRatio: The current percentage for "hits / accesses".

> Unclear:
> cachingAccesses: cachingHits + The number of getBlock requests that were cache misses, but only from requests that were set to use the block cache.
> cachingHits: The number of getBlock requests that were cache hits, but only from requests that were set to use the block cache. This is because all reads
> =====
> cachingHitsRatio: The current percentage for "cachintHits / cachingAccesses"
> evictions: The total number of times an eviction has occurred (based on the use of the LRU algorithm)
> evicted: The total number of blocks that have been evicted (based on the use of the LRU algorithm)
> evictedPerRun: The total number of blocks that have been evicted overall / The number of times an eviction has occurred overall
> {noformat}
> And also, where should we add this paragraph in the documentation?
