> As a developer building a Kafka Streams application, I'd like to have visibility into what's happening with my state stores. How can I know if a particular store is growing large? How can I know if a particular store is frequently needing to hit disk?
> I'm interested to know if there are existing mechanisms for extracting this information or if other people have thoughts on how we might approach this.
> I can't think of a way to provide metrics generically, so each state store implementation would likely need to handle this separately. Given that the default RocksDBStore will likely be the most-used, it would be a first target for adding metrics.
> I'd be interested in knowing the total number of entries in the store, the total size on disk and in memory, rates of gets and puts, and hit/miss ratio for the MemoryLRUCache. Some of these numbers are likely calculable through the RocksDB API, others may simply not be accessible.
> Would there be value to the wider community in having state stores register metrics?
