Motivation
It is useful for user to work with own metrics, not only with provided by Ignite. Current The current public metrics API doesn't expose any method to add or delete additional metrics. We should allow user to register custom metrics.
Description
The most important reason to provide custom is probably the convenience of collecting of desired metrics using one platform, the same client, through the same API. This feature can simplify user application.
Famous databases with custom metrics: Oracle DB , Postgres , Oracle Coherence , MS SQL Server , IBM DB2
Examples of custom metric usages:
- Some useful metrics may not be provided yet and user registers own.
- Metrics for load balancing.
- Custom conflict resolver successes/fails.
- Various metrics of business processes or related to user application.
- Administration metrics.
- Security-related metrics.

Implementation proposal
...
- Custom Metrics
...
- based on
...
- the New Metric System.
- Allow to register essential ready-to-use metrics like LongMetric which can be exported by a providing metric exporter.
...
- User can add own metrics into different registries.
- Custom metrics are separated from the internals by registry name prefix "custom." (lower cased).
...
- Management of custom metrics might require a permission.
...
Risks and Assumptions
- Custom metrics affect performance and take additional resources.
- There could be race conditions on metric registrations. Metrics with incompatible types can be concurrently registered with the same names.
- We do not expose API of all internal metrics. At least with the first tickets.
- Custom metrics aren't stored and require re-registration after node restart. At least with the first tickets.
API
The APIs are supposed to be experimental.
Interfaces for existing metrics
API
1. New metrics facade to Ignite:
...
org.apache.ignite.metric; |
...
...
IgniteMetrics extends Iterable<ReadOnlyMetricRegistry> {
MetricRegistry customRegistry(String registryName);
@Nullable ReadOnlyMetricRegistry findRegistry(String registryName);
|
...
...
...
removeCustomRegistry(String registryName); |
...
Names like "LongMetric" or "ObjectMetric" we already have in the package "org.apache.ignite.spi.metric".
}
2. New interface IgniteMetrics
...
org.apache.ignite.metric; |
...
...
/** Registers generic custom metric. */
...
interface MetricRegistry extends ReadOnlyMetricRegistry {
IntMetric register(String name, IntSupplier supplier, @Nullable String desc);
LongMetric register(String name, LongSupplier supplier, @Nullable String desc);
DoubleMetric register(String name, DoubleSupplier supplier, @Nullable String desc);
<T> ObjectMetric<T> register(String name, Supplier<T> supplier, Class<T> type, @Nullable String desc);
BooleanMetric register(String name, BooleanSupplier supplier, @Nullable String desc);
IntValueMetric intMetric(String name, @Nullable String desc);
LongValueMetric longMetric(String name, @Nullable String desc);
LongSumMetric longAdderMetric(String name, @Nullable String desc);
DoubleValueMetric doubleMetric(String name, @Nullable String desc);
<T> ObjectValueMetric<T> objectMetric(String name, Class<T> type, @Nullable String desc);
void remove(String name);
void reset();
} |

Further Steps
We already have implementations of more complex and useful metrics. We could also store custom metrics. Thus, the development stages might be:
- An API to expose internals read-only internal metrics was already suggested. Might be joined with the custom metrics. By the methods like "findRegistry" we can also return read-only internal metrics.
- Extending the initial API with metrics like Histogram or HitRate.
- Introduce a permission for custom metric management.
- Storing registered custom metrics.
- Allowing to change settings of configurable custom metrics like histograms.
