Metrics

In this section, we will introduce the MetricsReporter and HoodieMetrics in Hudi. You can view the metrics-related configurations here.

MetricsReporter​

MetricsReporter provides APIs for reporting HoodieMetrics to user-specified backends. Currently, the implementations include InMemoryMetricsReporter, JmxMetricsReporter, MetricsGraphiteReporter and DatadogMetricsReporter. Since InMemoryMetricsReporter is only used for testing, we will introduce the other three implementations.

JmxMetricsReporter​

JmxMetricsReporter is an implementation of JMX reporter, which used to report JMX metrics.

Configurations​

The following is an example of JmxMetricsReporter. More detailed configurations can be referenced here.

hoodie.metrics.on=true
hoodie.metrics.reporter.type=JMX
hoodie.metrics.jmx.host=192.168.0.106
hoodie.metrics.jmx.port=4001

Demo​

As configured above, JmxMetricsReporter will started JMX server on port 4001. We can start a jconsole to connect to 192.168.0.106:4001. Below is an illustration of monitoring Hudi JMX metrics through jconsole.

MetricsGraphiteReporter​

MetricsGraphiteReporter is an implementation of Graphite reporter, which connects to a Graphite server, and send HoodieMetrics to it.

Configurations​

The following is an example of MetricsGraphiteReporter. More detaile configurations can be referenced here.

hoodie.metrics.on=true
hoodie.metrics.reporter.type=GRAPHITE
hoodie.metrics.graphite.host=192.168.0.106
hoodie.metrics.graphite.port=2003
hoodie.metrics.graphite.metric.prefix=<your metrics prefix>

Demo​

As configured above, assuming a Graphite server is running on host 192.168.0.106 and port 2003, a running Hudi job will connect and report metrics data to it. Below is an illustration of monitoring hudi metrics through Graphite.

DatadogMetricsReporter​

DatadogMetricsReporter is an implementation of Datadog reporter. A reporter which publishes metric values to Datadog monitoring service via Datadog HTTP API.

Configurations​

The following is an example of DatadogMetricsReporter. More detailed configurations can be referenced here.

hoodie.metrics.on=true
hoodie.metrics.reporter.type=DATADOG
hoodie.metrics.datadog.api.site=EU # or US
hoodie.metrics.datadog.api.key=<your api key>
hoodie.metrics.datadog.metric.prefix=<your metrics prefix>
  • hoodie.metrics.datadog.api.site will set the Datadog API site, which determines whether the requests will be sent to api.datadoghq.eu (EU) or api.datadoghq.com (US). Set this according to your Datadog account settings.
  • hoodie.metrics.datadog.api.key will set the api key.
  • hoodie.metrics.datadog.metric.prefix will help segregate metrics by setting different prefixes for different jobs. Note that it will use . to delimit the prefix and the metric name. For example, if the prefix is set to foo, then foo. will be prepended to the metric name.

Demo​

In this demo, we ran a HoodieDeltaStreamer job with HoodieMetrics turned on and other configurations set properly.

As shown above, we were able to collect Hudi's action-related metrics like

  • <prefix>.<table name>.commit.totalScanTime
  • <prefix>.<table name>.clean.duration
  • <prefix>.<table name>.index.lookup.duration

as well as HoodieDeltaStreamer-specific metrics

  • <prefix>.<table name>.deltastreamer.duration
  • <prefix>.<table name>.deltastreamer.hiveSyncDuration

PrometheusMetricsReporter​

Prometheus is an open source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. Prometheus has a PushGateway that Apache Hudi can leverage for metrics reporting. Follow Prometheus documentation for basic setup instructions.

Similar to other supported reporters, the following attributes are required to enable pushgateway reporters:

hoodie.metrics.on=true
hoodie.metrics.reporter.type=PROMETHEUS_PUSHGATEWAY

The following properties are used to configure the address and port number of pushgateway. The default address is localhost, and the default port is 9091

hoodie.metrics.pushgateway.host=xxxx
hoodie.metrics.pushgateway.port=9091

You can configure whether to delete the monitoring information from pushgateway at the end of the task, the default is true

hoodie.metrics.pushgateway.delete.on.shutdown=false

You can configure the task name prefix and whether a random suffix is required. The default is true

hoodie.metrics.pushgateway.job.name=xxxx
hoodie.metrics.pushgateway.random.job.name.suffix=false

AWS CloudWatchReporter​

Hudi supports publishing metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. It can be configured by setting hoodie.metrics.reporter.type to “CLOUDWATCH”. Static AWS credentials to be used can be configured using hoodie.aws.access.key, hoodie.aws.secret.key, hoodie.aws.session.token properties. In the absence of static AWS credentials being configured, DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain will be used to get credentials by checking environment properties. Additional Amazon CloudWatch reporter specific properties that can be tuned are in the HoodieMetricsCloudWatchConfig class.

UserDefinedMetricsReporter​

Allows users to define a custom metrics reporter.

Configurations​

The following is an example of UserDefinedMetricsReporter. More detailed configurations can be referenced here.

hoodie.metrics.on=true
hoodie.metrics.reporter.class=test.TestUserDefinedMetricsReporter

Demo​

In this simple demo, TestMetricsReporter will print all gauges every 10 seconds

public static class TestUserDefinedMetricsReporter 
    extends AbstractUserDefinedMetricsReporter {
  private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(DummyMetricsReporter.class);

  private ScheduledExecutorService exec = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1, r -> {
      Thread t = Executors.defaultThreadFactory().newThread(r);
      t.setDaemon(true);
      return t;
  });

  public TestUserDefinedMetricsReporter(Properties props, MetricRegistry registry) {
    super(props, registry);
  }

  @Override
  public void start() {
    exec.schedule(this::report, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  }

  @Override
  public void report() {
    this.getRegistry().getGauges().forEach((key, value) -> 
      log.info("key: " + key + " value: " + value.getValue().toString()));
  }

  @Override
  public Closeable getReporter() {
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public void stop() {
    exec.shutdown();
  }
}

HoodieMetrics​

Once the Hudi writer is configured with the right table and environment for HoodieMetrics, it produces the following HoodieMetrics, that aid in debugging hudi tables

  • Commit Duration - The amount of time it took to successfully commit a batch of records
  • Rollback Duration - Similarly, the amount of time taken to undo partial data left over by a failed commit (rollback happens automatically after a failing write)
  • File Level metrics - Shows the amount of new files added, versions, deleted (cleaned) in each commit
  • Record Level Metrics - Total records inserted/updated etc per commit
  • Partition Level metrics - number of partitions upserted (super useful to understand sudden spikes in commit duration)

These HoodieMetrics can then be plotted on a standard tool like grafana. Below is a sample commit duration chart.
