Class MeterView

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.metrics.MeterView

All Implemented Interfaces:

Meter, Metric, View

public class MeterView
extends Object
implements Meter, View

A MeterView provides an average rate of events per second over a given time period. The primary advantage of this class is that the rate is neither updated by the computing thread nor for every event. Instead, a history of counts is maintained that is updated in regular intervals by a background thread. From this history a rate is derived on demand, which represents the average rate of events over the given time span. Setting the time span to a low value reduces memory-consumption and will more accurately report short-term changes. The minimum value possible is View.UPDATE_INTERVAL_SECONDS. A high value in turn increases memory-consumption, since a longer history has to be maintained, but will result in smoother transitions between rates. The events are counted by a Counter.
