Houston Putman commented on SOLR-14401:
---------------------------------------

The handlers where it makes sense are the SearchHandler, ExportHandler, 
StreamingHandler, and UpdateHandler. Am I missing anything?
{quote}Since the metrics logic for this is in RequestHandlerBase, I suppose we 
could add a protected method supportsDistributedRequests() that defaults to 
false and is only implemented by a few handlers?
{quote}
That sounds good to me.
{quote}So except for a few handlers, most handlers will only have a ".distrib." 
metric.
{quote}
Confused here, shouldn't they have the ".distrib." as well as the same metrics 
without the ".distrib." part? (for the non-distributed requests?)
{quote} instead only add a ".local." or perhaps ".shard."
{quote}
I think "shard" makes a lot of sense, but "local" not really. (because the 
request is local, whether it is from a user or distributed from another solr 
node) Although I can't really think of anything better other than "originating".

> SOLR-13979 in 8.4 added separate request handler metrics for distributed 
> requests.  However this was done for _all_ request handlers, even though it's 
> mainly SearchHandler (and maybe one or two others?) where a distributed 
> request is even possible.  I refer to this as "metrics pollution" and it's a 
> bad thing.  It's more weight per handler (latency load & memory), more weight 
> for Solr metrics responses, and it's also _suggestive_ that all registered 
> handlers can have distributed requests when this is quite false, thus 
> confusing people.
