[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-25524) Region Servers should give some indication that short-circuit reads are configured properly and working

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25524?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17329133#comment-17329133 ] 

Rahul Kumar commented on HBASE-25524:
-------------------------------------

Hey [~ndimiduk] . Thinking over the approach to validate SCR (short-circuit read). Couple of options that came into my mind, but facing some limitation with those. 

1. Do a test read from RS and check if the read was SCR ? 
> Is there a way to always read a sample data which are always local to the host ?

2. Try writing data locally and then read the same data to confirm SCR ? 
> Even if we write a test data to local, we can't be fully sure it will be there in local at the time of reading.

Do you see any better way that I am not able to see here ? Thanks

> Going through the exercise of confirming short-circuit reads turns out to be quite a chore. 2.3.0 added a new metric, but metrics only get tickled when there's traffic that happens to use the feature. This is not very convenient for an operator who has taken a cluster out of service for maintenance.
> It would be nice if the rs process could perform some test and emitted some confirmation of the status of this otherwise transparent feature. After confirmation, it could light up a boolean metric value and/or add mention of it to the info page.
