ReleaseTBD


Motivation

Currently Paimon runs without monitoring and metrics out of box. In the production environment, users need to know how their Paimon Table behaves like what is the commit duration, how many files each commit added or deleted, the status of compaction operation, the duration of scan query, lag of streaming reading and so on. So we need to introduce a metrics system and more metrics for Paimon.  

Public Interfaces

Measurable metric interfaces

Metric

Metric is the base measurable metric interface, which indicate a class is a metric.

public interface Metric {}

Gauge

Gauge is a type of metric interface provides a value of any type at a point in time.

/** Gauge calculates a specific value at a point in time. */
@Public
public interface Gauge<T> {

    /**
     * Calculates and returns the measured value.
     *
     * @return calculated value
     */
    T getValue();
}

Counter

Counter is a type of metric interface which is used to count values by incrementing and decrementing.

/** A Counter is a metric measured by incrementing and decrementing. */
@Public
public interface Counter extends Metric {

    /** Increment the current count by 1. */
    void inc();

    /**
     * Increment the current count by the given value.
     *
     * @param n value to increment the current count by
     */
    void inc(long n);

    /** Decrement the current count by 1. */
    void dec();

    /**
     * Decrement the current count by the given value.
     *
     * @param n value to decrement the current count by
     */
    void dec(long n);

    /**
     * Returns the current count.
     *
     * @return current count
     */
    long getCount();
}

Histogram

Histogram is a type of metric interface measure the statistical distribution of a set of values including the min, max, mean, standard deviation and quantiles

/** The histogram allows to record values, get the current count of recorded values and create
 * histogram statistics for the currently seen elements.*/
@Public
public interface Histogram extends Metric {

    /**
     * Update the histogram with the given value.
     *
     * @param value Value to update the histogram with
     */
    void update(long value);

    /**
     * Get the count of seen elements.
     *
     * @return Count of seen elements
     */
    long getCount();

    /**
     * Create statistics for the currently recorded elements.
     *
     * @return Statistics about the currently recorded elements
     */
    HistogramStatistics getStatistics();
}


Metrics

Class Metrics  is the core of metrics system, there are  MetricRegistry  and  MetricsReporter  container in it. When the Metrics  instance is initiating, the MetricRegistry  is instantiated and metrics reporters are started. 

Metrics reporters are configurable, users can use custom reporters, Paimon will provide a default metrics reporter of JMX metrics reporter. 

public class Metrics {

    /** The registry that holds the metrics. */
 	private final MetricRegistry registry;

    /** The metrics reporters container. */
  	private final List<MetricsReporter> reporters;

	/** Register metrics to MetricRegistry. 
 		@param name The name of metric.
		@param metric The metric to register.	
	*/
	public void registerMetrics(String name, Metric metric) {}
}

MetricRegistry

MetricRegistry is a class responsible for metrics registering, there is a metrics container in it. It provides register method for each type of measurable metric, registering metrics will put metrics to the metrics container.

public class MetricRegistry {

	/** Map of gauge metrics. */
    private final Map<String, Gauge<?>> gauges = new HashMap<>();

    /** Map of counter metrics. */
    private final Map<String, Counter> counters = new HashMap<>();

	/** Register gauge metric. */
 	public void gauge(String name, Gauge gauge) {}

	/** Register counter metric. */
	public void counter(String name, Counter counter) {}
}

MetricsReporter

MetricsReporter  is used to report metrics to external backend, Paimon will implement an out of box reporter as JMX `MetricsReporter`.

public interface MetricsReporter {
	/** Configure reporter after instantiating it.*/
     void open();

    /** Closes this reporter. */
    void close();

	/** Report the current measurements. This method is called periodically by the Metrics. */
	void report();
}

Proposed Changes

Architecture

Metrics Registering

Take CommitMetrics as example, the CommitMetrics will be instantiated by FileStoreCommitImpl, then commit related metrics will be registered by MetricRegistry in singleton Metrics

The Metrics has instance of MetricRegistry and MetricsReporters set. MetricRegistry maintains metrics map containers. Metrics registering is a process of putting metrics instances into the metric (gauge, counter) map container. 

Update metrics value

The CommitMetrics values will be updated around commit() operation, for example the commit starting time will be recorded before commit operation, CommitDuration value will be recorded after commit completing.

CompactionMetrics values will be updated around compaction operation, and ScanMetrics will be recorded through the scan planning process.

Report metrics to external backend

Each reporter instance has an timer task fetching metrics from the metrics containers periodically and report them out to the external backends. Paimon will has a default reporter backend with JMX, users can define their own MetricsReporter by implement MetricsReporter  interface. Here we can introduce a core option metrics.reporter  to specify a metrics backend.

Metrics list

We introduce CommitMetrics , CompactionMetrics , ScanMetrics as metrics set to measure the stats of Paimon table committing, compaction and scanning.

Common metrics

CommitMetrics

public class CommitMetrics {
	private Metrics metrics;
	private final String COMMIT_DURATION_METRIC = "lastCommitDuration";
