[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-237) Standard set of Performance Metrics for Hadoop

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

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-237?page=comments#action_12412604 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-237:
-------------------------------------

Here are some quick ideas for what could be interesting statistics to monitor:

Map Input:
  records/second
  bytes/second

Map Output Transferred to Reduce Node;
  records/second
  bytes/second

Reduce Output:
  bytes/second
  records/second

Job Tracker:
  maps tasks launched
  map tasks completed
  reduce tasks launched
  reduce tasks completed

DFS Datanode
  bytes/second written
  bytes/second read
  blocks/second read
  blocks/second written
  blocks replicated
  blocks removed

DFS NameNode
  files created
  files renamed
  files listed
  files opened
  files removed

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

> I am starting to use Hadoop's shiny new Metrics API to publish performance (and other) Metrics of running jobs and other daemons.
> Which performance metrics are people interested in seeing ? If possible, please group them according to modules, such as map-reduce, dfs, general-cluster-related etc. I will follow this process:
> 1. collect this list
> 2. assess feasibility of obtaining metric
> 3. assign context/record/metrics names
> 4. seek approval for names
> 5. instrument the code.
