Not sure if you want yet another opinion added to the pile -- but since I had a
similar problem on another project recently, I thought I'd weigh in. (On that
project we were originally using Coda's library, but then switched to rolling
our own metrics implementation because we needed to do a few
Jay - I was thinking of a pure stub rather than just wrapping Kafka metrics
in a Coda gauge. I'd like the Timers, Meters etc to still be Coda meters -
that way the windows, exponential decays, etc are comparable to the rest of
the Coda metrics in our applications. At the same time, I don't want to
Hey Martin,
Thanks for the great feedback.
1. I agree with the problems of mixing moving window statistics with fixed
window statistics. That was one of my rationales. The other is that
weighted statistics are very unintuitive for people compared to simple
things like averages and percentiles so
