> Add idle metrics for Task
> -------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-16864
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16864
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Metrics, Runtime / Task
> Reporter: Wenlong Lyu
> Assignee: Wenlong Lyu
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently there is no metric for user to measure how busy a task is
> concretely, which is important for user to decide how to tune a job.
> We would like to propose adding an IdleTime which measure idle time of a task
> including the time cost for mail processor to wait for new mail and the time
> cost in record writer to waiting a new buffer.
> With the idle time:
> 1. when a job can not catch up with the speed of data generating, the vertex
> which idle time is near to zero is the bottle neck of the job.
> 2. when a job is not busy, idle time can be used to guide user how much he
> can scale down the job.
> In addition, measuring idle time can have little impaction on the performance
> of the job, because when a task is busy, we don't touch the code to measure
> wait-time in mailbox.
