Chris M. Hostetter updated SOLR-14657:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-14657.patch
Status: Open (was: Open)
bq. how about adding this convenience method as
SolrMetricsContext.safeGauge(Gauge g, Object defValue) /
SolrMetricsContext.safeGauge(Gauge g) ? At least we would have one central
place to make these decisions.
I think thta would be a bad idea, as it would presume that it would be safe to
_silently_ ignore *any* exception/throwable from *any* gauge registred that way
-- and i don't think that's true. Even for these gauges, if we encounter
something truely unexpected then we should let those percolate up and show up
in the logs - but in this case it's totaly expected that an IndexReader might
throw an AlreadyCloseException, so it's ok to explicitly ignore that type of
exception.
bq. For this particular gauge I would be tempted to return -1 instead of null,
as a kind of "impossible value" that we already return from other numeric
gauges. ... see SOLR-14683
Sure, i updated the patch to return -1 for the numeric IndexReader gauges, and
"" for hte one place that an IndexReader related gauge returns a String
("readerDir"). I also fixed the "indexVersion" gauge that i some how
completely overlooked in my first patch.

> I've seen situations in the wild where systems monitoring/polling metrics can
> trigger scary looking - but otherwise benign - ERRORs due to
> AlreadyClosedExceptions if/when the searcher/reader is in the process of

> We should tweak the metrics logic to just ignore these exceptions
